Subject:Propane fitting thread compound

Hi folks:

Have a question about assembling of the threaded portion of brass propane fittings. I just purchased a Stay-a-while also known as the extend-a-stay, and I'm having to change some of the fittings into a different configuration. It appears to me that the manufacturer used the red (permanent) loctite thread lock compound. I'm just curious if this is the stuff to use for reassembly, or should I be using the white Teflon paste? Can't imagine the fittings vibrating loose overtime. Is one type of thread compound preferred over the other for propane?

Thx,

Troy
