What (if any) lubricant can I use on a screw/nut to keep it from

moisture exposure due to the inherent moisture content in Natural gas.

add routine maintence item, move nut loosen and tighten a little

Before the following discussion on stainless-steel -- please, someone,
say a bit more about this periodic loosening and retightening,
pros and cons of it, what situations for doing and not doing it.

(To avoid (actually, evade) that discussion (stainless), suppose:

it's possible that you don't HAVE any of those, and/or they're
too EXPENSIVE to replace all the ones you already have with them.)


Thanks!
