37-degree flare AN fittings do NOT need anything to seal.
The flare is supposed to seal properly.
This covers all AN fitting to AN fitting couplings.
Some AN "ports" are o-ringed - look for the chamfer on the edge of the hole.
SX FPR's are made like this.

Do keep in mind, if you've got something like a -AN to NPT or ANY OTHER NON -AN fitting you do need to seal it with teflon tape or similiar. Only -AN to -AN fittings, or AN -> Hardline fittings (flared properly, or with compression fittings) can be done without sealants.
Just an FYI in case any newbies read this and thought the fittings were immune on both sides.
