Since this fitting is a straight thread, not a pipe thread, how is it sealed.  Is thread compound all that's needed, do I need a copper washer, or something else?

I believe the original fitting just had a crush washer of some type.  I can't recall if I used a similar washer, or a "Stat-O-Seal".  I think it was Fred who turned me on to these babies, and I use them whenever I can.
