SAE Flare fittings and IPS nipples into flexible gas connectors which then would not properly seal causing a small gas leak. The flare threads have 16 threads per inch. PTFE tape and pipe joint compound also known as "pipe dope" should only be used on "IPS" "iron pipe size" threads, which are normal pipe threads.
