Default Quick Bottle Nut ?

Do you put teflon paste on the bottle nut threads? I know it has a small nylon gasket on it but i guess technically it looks like a giant NPT fitting (which you're supposed to put paste on).

Nope, no sealant on bottle valve threads.

Thanks I figured as much since theres that lil gasket under the bottle nut but figured I'd ask just in case. Since we're talking about the nut, is it removed during refills or do they just plug right into where the main feed line screws into? I know I know I'm a newbie

Most people fill using the -4AN, so they leave the nut on.
