    Yes it took a fair bit of force to knock the olive further on to the tail. If not I'll have to drain down, undo the valve and apply LS-X would you recommend. Is the first time I've had a problem like this don't thnk I'll be using damfoss valves again.

    Ok thanks, I will try to tighten abit more, I have a bigger spanner which will give me more leverge that might be able to give it abit more. I was scared of over tighening.

    Small leak were rad valve tighten on to rad tail

    Its coming from the 1/2 inch nut on the tail that connects to the rad valve. I put 20 wraps of ptfe on the tail tapeDr towards the end that enters the rad first. They are damfoss valves I have fitted. I have fitted rad valves before and never had a problem. Can Damfoss ones be trouble some?

    Small leak were rad valve tighten on to rad tail

    Hey I thnk I may have a very small leak, were the radiator valve tightens on to the rad tail on some radiator valves I have fitted. There is no drip or sign of water under the valve but it feels wet on the joint. Is that a tiny leak or could it be something else?
