A gooseneck for filling drywall mud from a pump to a taping machine that attaches to a hose to deliver water to the taping machine's interior cavity during cleanup. In one embodiment, the gooseneck includes an upper pump plate with an inlet port with internal threads compatible with a threaded male hose connector. In another embodiment, a gooseneck is used with an adapter plate disposed between the gooseneck's upper pump plate and the pump's outlet port. The adapter plate includes two connector bores and a center entrance port with internal threads compatible with a male hose connector. When assembled, the bores and entrance port are axially aligned with connector holes or slots and the input port on the upper pump plate. Also disclosed is a method for cleaning the taping machine's interior cavity using one of the two embodiments and a garden hose that dispenses water into the taping machine.
