When removing a single panel radiator I managed to twist the valve slightly. This has a small bore copper tail into a plastic pipe approx. 5mm diameter.
The connection is now weeping very slightly and I don't want to tighten it any more in case I aggravate the situation.
If I drain the system should I replace the tail or would PTFE tape around the olive do the job ? Also I'm not sure how the copper tail is inserted into the plastic pipe or what the trade name is for that type of tail.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.
