11. Apply 2-3 wraps of Teflon™ tape to
the male threads on the discharge
tee. Using pipe wrench, thread 1"
discharge tee into top of pump.
Remove pressure gauge plug from
top of discharge tee. TO PRIME: Put
a garden hose into top of discharge
tee and fill pipes and pump until water overflows
from top of discharge tee. This may take several
minutes.

Sealing Pipe Joints
Use only Teflon™ tape or Teflon™ based joint compounds
for making all threaded connections to the pump itself. Do
not use pipe joint compounds on plastic pumps: they can
react with the plastic in pump components. Make sure that
all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well as
water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will
not be able to pull water from the well.
