What cleaner should I use to clean fittings in my nitrous system?

I want to clean out a fitting that will be part of my nitrous system. What kind of cleaner should I use? Brake Cleaner? Carb Cleaner? something else?

Thanks!

Is there something lodged internally? Or is it just a precautionary measure? Fuel side or nitrous side?

precautionary, its on the nitrous side, I had to make a custom fitting for the nano connection so I could keep my gauge and have swivel

I had to tap the fitting and I was using some wd-40 while tapping. I just wanna clean out any junk/wd-40 or micro-size shavings that could be in there.
