I used teflon tape on all the threaded connections. Guess I will just see if I can tighten down a little further I just dont want to break the bulkhead.

I ended up back it off applying another layer of tape re-tightening and now things are just fine. Wheww! nice to have that done!

Good to hear! Thats the best way to do it.

I use A LOT of teflon tape when I do a threaded joint. If you have too much it will just smoosh itself out backwards.. and it will still seal well no problem.

Good luck with the new setup!

Cheers,

Chris
