G-17 thread sizes

[Triton]

Getting ready to plumb a 8135 pump and I need to know the size of both ends a the G-17 filter to connect it to the pump. I don't do this type of plumbing with NPT, Jic, and NPSF fittings often so I have a learning curve. Also will teflon tape be good for diesel fuel?
Thanks

Sealent wise look at the instructions it will list what's useable. I usually use locktite 567 (not a threadlock, it's a sealant for oils.

I avoid teflon tape on diesel lines, both because it tends to leak and others have had trouble with injector fouling. I also avoid silicone products.

It is an NPT fitting, and should seal without sealant, it if you want sealant, get one for diesels like this;

Trying to order the correct size fittings, just don't know the size!

Partshawk.com lists the Airtex E8135 as 1/4-18NPSF inlet and a 3/8 (npt?) outlet, but I would double check yours as there many variations floating around.
