I am about to install these valves (is this the right word?) to resume having water in the garden.
Once installed, these will be brass on brass. I'm concerned that I will not obtain a watertight seal.
Does brass, in this particular setting, provide water tightness, or is there some kind of sealing material I need to use?
I think the bleeder part (is this the right word?) is only needed when winterizing. There is nothing I need to do with it at springtime—other than ensuring it itself does not leak.

As requested made this an answer. it looks like the threads have some pipe dope on them. a couple of wraps of PFTE / Teflon tape on the threads will seal it up. the small rolls at the home stores are less than a dollar. that will seal it up if there is not enough left on the threads. – Ed Beal May 26 at 19:02 delete
