I am trying to hook up a gas dryer. The gas line has a flare fitting 1/2 in. that goes into a 1/2 in. x 3/8 in. coupling/reducer (in order to fit into a 3/8 in. gas connector, as suggested by help from Home Depot) and then into an excess flow valve, which then goes into a 3/8 in. gas connector (and then the dryer) Should I put Teflon Tape or Sealant on any of these connections?

You need a 3/8" female NPT x 3/8" male flare thread adapter. Any good hardware store or plumbing shop.
Make sure the output on your regulator is set correctly -- probably about 10" WC.
