TLDR: is line D on attached photo meant for splicing in water dispenser? I have a relatively new house in which kitchen countertop water dispenser was planned (counter hole drilled) but fixture never installed. I am about to actually install it; Insinkerator dispenser instructions say that I...

I needed to reassemble a kitchen disposal and, when disassembled existing setup, noticed traces of some sort of sealant on p-trap threads (photo attached). Can't tell if putty or teflon tape? Wasn't using either on PP useless - and maybe even counterproductive? ie when reassembling, should I...
