I have just replaced a radiator removed for redecorating and no matter what I try the connection into the radiator leaks. The original taps (type that fits with hex key) had a slight weep so I decided to remake the connections before refitting, the weep was now a leak. Replaced the rad with a new one and fitted the same valves, still leaked! Replaced the valves with spanner fitting type (like Honeywell) and still leaked. Gave up with PTFE tape and used jointing compound and it still leaked. All the other rads in the house have been removed and replaced with no problem.
Any suggestions?
TIA
