Lube/joint compound/tape can not be applied to which threads?

In oxygen service, you must keep threads free of any lubricant, joint compound, or tape. Oil-based or hydrocarbon products can ignite in enriched oxygen environments, so no such substances should be applied to any threads—neither male nor female. If a seal is needed, use only oxygen-approved methods and materials specified for that service, applied exactly as directed. Thus, neither type of thread should receive lube, joint compound, or tape.
