Which part of the threads? The 45 deg. seat or the NPT part? It's OK on the NPT side if going into a block etc.

Dudes; teflon is a hydrocarbon based product that will weaken and disolve when exposed to other hydrocarbon based fluids. Best to use a sealant that will standup to the application. But no matter, nothing on the flare end of AN fittings. That's what the flared end is for.
