Default NPT sealer

I was told that I could use Red Loctite for all the NPT fittings on my nitrous kit. Would I be better off using something else or is red loctite ok to use?

I use teflon pipe paste for NPT now. I used ref loktite before. DO NOT USE ANY SEALER ON AN FITTINGS. And avoid using teflon tape or pipe tape. It tends to get torn off and drawn thru the system, clogging solenoids and screeens.

I use the white teflon paste. I think I got it from AutoZone.

Thanks for the replies guys. A person I spoke to at Nitro Daves told me I could use loctite, so I hope it is ok. I know not to use any type of sealer on the AN fittings.
