the fitting washer (item 2) contacts the face of the helm port. Tighten
hand tight. Do not use a wrench.
Re-position the fitting to the desired orientation by turning it
counterclockwise to a maximum of one full turn.

NPT fittings:
Remove the plug from the bottom-most R port, taking care to keep any
sealant residue out of the pump.
Clean sealant residue from the threads in the helm cover as thoroughly
as possible. Clean from inside out, and with threads facing down, to
avoid contaminating the helm.
Apply a liquid thread sealant, such as Loctite
pipe thread of fitting, following the sealant manufacturer's application
directions. Do not apply sealant to the straight-threaded portion of
the fitting.
Install the fitting in the pump body hand tight, then use a wrench to
tighten one turn. Tighten no more than one additional turn to align the
fitting to the desired orientation. Do not overtighten, as you may
damage the helm.
