NO....it is highly recommanded against useing "PLUMERS TAPE", it can break off and clog parts of the rad.. the O-ring should be more than enough.

YES.....you should use destilled water to flush....you could do tap water but not recommended.... if you do use tap water you will need to let the system completely dry before filling with you desired fluid...ect Feser, destilled water...
You should always flush any new WC parts ... as they could have metal shaveings and such in them...and you do not want this in your system.

Flush it out with boiled tap water a few times and give it a good shake each time. If you pour it into a clean bowl you can check that there's no bits in it. Give a final flush with distilled water. I generally leave the hot water in for about 10 minutes each time I flush it.

as Elfie said you can flush with tap water, just rinse with distilled and you will be fine.
