Hi Guys,
Recently fitted an indirect cylinder and on filling up the central heating and running for some hours have noticed a small buy damn annoying leak on the top connection of the coil, Its not from the cylinder, but seaping out of the female iron, about a drip every minute or so.
I now have to drain the system again to sort this out, any tips on ensuring that it does not happen? I assume PTFE on the cylinder thread might help, but am I missing something.
Its so annoying after spending hours cutting and replacing pipework where no soldered joints leak to have a thread leak!
Any advice greatly appreciated
