Hi Folks,
Took some radiators off recently for replastering. All was fine. Have come to put back the radiator in the guest room and when reconnecting found that water leaked out from under the securing nut. At this stage it never occured to me that PTFE or Jointing Compound would be needed. Have got this now but wanted to make sure I was putting the right stuff on the right bits!
I've added some pictures in my 'Radiator' album of my profile. I'm assuming I should be putting something on the tiny bit of thread thats left at the end of the rad and outside of the thread of the pipe?
Any help appreciated!
