How do I prevent bypass damage when tightening the fitting on the inlet side?

0

When installing hose or pipe fittings, a pipe sealing compound or PTFE tape should be applied to the threads to prevent leakage. Two wraps of PTFE tape are sufficient to prevent excess material from clogging the pump. One quarter turn past finger tight is sufficient to seal the fittings. Secure the pump in a vice (using pads to protect the pump body), and support the motor when installing the fittings.
