Is it permissible or advisable to use some sort of nylon washer inside
the fitting to get an airtight seal?

Hi Ernest,

They make a seal just for these 37 degree fittings.  They seem to be really soft aluminum, and I've used them successfully once before.  I've also polished the sealing surfaces when I've seen a scratch, and that's worked as well.  Good luck.
