loctite 51609 on npt fittings
(OP)
Has anyone used this heavy duty anti seize on npt's. We are having a big issue with getting our fittings to seal using this lubricant. hoping to get any tips on eliminating the leaks during assembly so we don't have to go back and torque them down more or have to remove the fitting all together.

It's probably the wrong Loctite for what you are doing. Ask Henkel to send someone along to look at your application and make a specific recommendation.

It MIGHT be possible to social-engineer your way into the customer's staff and find out which person is responsible for the unfortunate specification, get the backstory, and figure out how to solve the problem that started your misery. ... but it requires a delicate touch, and may backfire, badly, anyway.

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)
