Hep 2o Help Needed???

[mickeydolenz]

I hope someone can help me with a bit of advice, Ive recently had a couple of leaks coming from the right hand side fitting of two of my radiators. They are slight but I dont want them to get worse, it looks like its Hep 2o that has been used. Is there anyone on here who can suggest what to do?? Can I use boss white on this stuff??

Any Help would be appreciated.

Boss White cannot be used on the palstic pushfit side. The thread of the valve going into the rad is best wrapped in PTFE - if that is where the leak is. If the leak is on the plastic pipe side then check if a pipe insert has been fitted. They frequently get missed out. If there, then replace the fitting it is duff. If you can pull some slack on the plastic pipe then do it and cut off the end with a sharp pipe cutter (the pipe surface may be scored) to have clean pipe end. Use a pipe insert and push home.
