Why is Toilet tank is slow to fill?
The most likely reason is that the water inlet is blocked. (It could also be that the water pressure is low, but that would show up in the sinks and every other faucet as well.) It might be blocked by mineral scale, or it might be that the inlet valve is partially closed. I agree with the above answer. I would like to add another cause for slow filling. The Fluidmaster 400A or 400 Series fill valves has a seal or disc that can swell after it has been in use for several years. The swelling of the seal restricts the flow. A swollen seal will slow the flow of water through the valve. You can replace the seal (# 242), sold at local hardware stores. The back of the seal package has the steps for replacing the seal.

Why is thread seal not used on flared fitting?
Flared fittings use a flare and a nipple for the sealing surface. The threads do not serve any purpose as to actually sealing anything. The threads merely hold the flare of the one fitting together tightly with the nipple of the other fitting to create a seal.
