8. A method for determining a discharge pressure of a gas handler in a well, the method comprising:
attaching a discharge head to the gas handler disposed in the well,
wherein the discharge head is connected to an electrical submersible pump having a pump discharge line;
wherein the gas handler is configured for a fluid to pass through the gas handler to the electrical submersible pump;
attaching a gas handler discharge line from the discharge head to a sensor;
wherein the gas handler discharge line is a pressure transfer line from the discharge head to the sensor,
terminating the gas discharge line into a plurality of ports in the discharge head;
measuring a pressure transferred from the gas handler into the electrical submersible pump, via the sensor;
receiving, by a processor, the measurement of the pressure transferred;
determining, by the processor, the discharge pressure of the gas handler based on the measurement of the pressure transferred; and
displaying, by a display, the discharge pressure of the gas handler.
