Installing plugs in new risers

[tstewart1]

I am in the process of installing some new risers. I took the 4 plugs out of the old riser along with what looks like a valve. The old plugs look like they were installed with teflon tape and maybe a red thread locker. Should I use a thread locker/tape when installing the plugs? Any idea on the correct torque?

Thanks
