Default Sealant goes on what connections?

I know the obvious ones, so I'll just name the connections I'm uncertain about and you guys can say yay or nay.

Bottle Valve to Bottle
Blow Off Fitting to Blow Off Tube
Bottle Valve to 4AN Reducer
4AN Reducer to Nitrous Filter Input Line
Nitrous Input Line to Nitrous Filter
Nitrous Filter to Feed Line
Solenoid Lines to Nozzles

Thanks guys.

Bottle Valve to Bottle - No
Blow Off Fitting to Blow Off Tube - No
Bottle Valve to 4AN Reducer - No
4AN Reducer to Nitrous Filter Input Line - No
Nitrous Input Line to Nitrous Filter - No
Nitrous Filter to Feed Line - No
Solenoid Lines to Nozzles - No

Thanks guys.
The only fittings that need sealant are the fittings that screw into the solenoid. I believe they are 1/8 or 1/4 ntp pipe threads. Be careful and use only the amount necessary to seal these fittings. Everything you listed should be -an except the bottle nut.

Only use sealant on NPT threads. Anything that has either a gasket or a conical seat do not use sealant on them as they're self sealing.
