Buy an appropriately sized set screw at a hardware store.

:nod: Might also want to put teflon tape around the threads of the screw. Incase you didnt know that already.

No I think you would want teflon. You want an air tight seal don't you? Thats what teflon does, locktite just makes it tight as hell and when you want it to come off its going to be hard as crap to take it off with that little screw.

Loctite is also more permanent and harder to work with. Go with about 3 wraps of doubled-over teflon tape. If it leaks, use loctite.

Blue loctite works just as well as teflon and I have yet to have a problem taking off any loctited fittings. I also have yet to have a leaking loctited seal

Loctite is about as permanent as teflon, red loctite is the only kind that is hard to take off. And loctite is actually easier to work with, IMO. Its cleaner looking and you just spread it on

If you feel comfortable using blue Loctite as a thread sealer, then go for it. I put blue Loctite on my pin valve threads for my antisiphoned co2 tank, and getting that valve back off to check my work was EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. It may have had something to do with the CO2 coldness or something, though, IDK.
But if you feel like you can be successful with blue Loctite, more power to you.

Since your user name is "Timmyfreaker" you do NOT want to use teflon tape (assuming you use an Intimidator). Teflon tape on ANYTHING will void your Bob Long warranty. Small bits break off and get sucked into the solenoid.
Loctite works as a seal to prevent leaks. Blue loctite will seal up against leaks and can still be removed fairly easily if you need to.
As for your original question, I think this is what you want:

http://www.countypaintball.com/product_description.asp?item=1716 Yeah, Im glad my noid still works. When I first got it, the pro shop guy was being all nice and gave me a free duckbill(spend over a grand and they kind of like you) and he put on my macro with teflon. If it wasnt for Jaster, I would have left it there and put on other fittings with teflon. Also, you rule. Thanks
