i wasnt saying it is a requirement. if the threads are worn then ya may need it. dont take it as i was saying you have to have it.

the only thing ive ever legally seen used on AN fittings(talking NAVAIR specs) is a graphite type lubricant on AN threads to prevent corrosion between the surfaces. but teflon tape is a huge no-no on AN fittings

That and conical seals to help seal worn flares, but that’s on the flare, not the thread. People ALWAYS overtighten AN fittings…STOP! You tighten them 1-2 hex flats last hand tight…per the BOEING MM’s.
