I've just fitted 2 new radiators. An aluminium Faral Tropical and a stainless steel Apollo Genova towel radiator. Both look very good. Problem with both is that I got a drip from where the valve tails screw into the radiator - all 4 of them. I used PTFE tape and I haven't stripped any threads.
I drained the system again, removed the valves and started again. This time I smeared jointing compound into the threads and then used PTFE tape on top. This time I've got one watertight joint and three with a very slight weep. What can I do to make the connections watertight?
