I don't know... though perhaps it doesn't matter since (if I do this 
right) no gas reaches the teflon tape.  I've seen so many brass 
compression nuts thoroughly buggered by first rounding with an open-end 
wrench then knurled with vice grips that I was trying to make it easy to 
tighten and disassemble.  Since it is a union of dissimilar metals I 
used teflon tape rather than anti-seize.
