I was removing an old gas heater and I accidentally broke the gas supply line.
Actually it wasn't on accident, I didn't know gas was running to that line until I heard it coming out.
I shut off the gas (propane) and went about fixing it.
I went out and got a tool for fixing the end of the gas supply line which I believe is 1/2 inch flexible tubing (it's silver), and by fixing I mean rounding the edges of the line.
I also got a new nut and put the cut off back on the line.
Question is: Do I need to put anything on the threads? For example something like plumbers putty or Teflon tape like you would with plumbing?
I ask because the old cut off seems to have the remains of something that was previously put on it.
TIA
