Hi folks,
I recently took a rad off the wall for decorating. Upon refitting and filling the rad I noticed the valve union nuts on both sides of the rad are leaking. Ive tried tightening the nuts but in makes little to no difference.
Both sides are very slow leaks so not urgent however I’d like to sort them out ASAP.
My first thought was PTFE tape but Ive read that using this on these joints is a no.
Can anyone advise on how best to seal these areas?
ps attached pis shows the areas leaking
