Nice plumbin...

You might want to check those compression fittings once in a while. They can work loose with vibration.

I think thats is teflon paste I see there and not tape.

If so get ready for it to leak. At least for me paste would not do the trick, tape works like a charm.

Just a heads up to a possible issue.

Well im a journeyman pipefitter that worked in oil and chemical refineries for almost 20 years and IMHO an industrial quality paste is 10 times better than tape.

Try a different brand. I use the loctite 567 part #56747. It's not a hard setting type and has superior sealing properties IMHO
