I have to remove my city water connection on my 2019 Freedom Elite 22he tl repair check valve. It is a flush mount flange. The video I watched said to put butyl ethyl tape on backside. Where can I get this tape? Do they sell it at HD or Menards? Also, do I use regular silicone caulk around the outside of the flange after it is reattached?

The tape they talk about is the same stuff you get when you put in a roof vent or such on an RV. If you don't have access to any (check your local RV dealer) I'd suggest some black silicone sealant under the flange.
