Loctite/Permatex share some product line. Loctite owned Permatex for awhile, but they're separate companies now...sorta.

I don't know of any difference between Loctite 592 and Permatex 592.

Specifically says "Anaerobic cure".
www.permatex.com/?s=592&post_type=product&dgwt_wcas=1

Says "LOCKS and seals threads". (My emphasis) Doesn't specifically say anaerobic, but that's why you have 4 hours to reposition the fitting--the anaerobic hasn't set in 4 hours.

What are trying to do, oil cooler at radiator or filter adapter cooler line fittings? What is your objective, this post from beginning to here has good info. Just don't, don't put any sealant or paste or anything on the AN straight thread male to female B nut. Clean dry straight threads. Threads don't seal, the 37° cone to flair is sealing surface.
