Oil Pressure sending unit hose?

Ok guys last week my CRAP NYLON/Plastic MECHANICAL oil pressure hose snapped off at the engine and spewed most of my engine oil all over the inside of the engine(that was a fun clean up and still not done) so I debated going electric so no fluids to spew...but decided to go with a braided steel hose instead. Do I need to use teflon tape or anything else on the threads of this? Install seems straight forward other than that question i guess. I had bought the hose already but found out it was too short(36") yesterday when i tried to install it so I had to order longer(did not want to punch a hole in the firewall just for that short hose to work). So supposedly that new hose arrives today at noon.
