Hi All
I'm connecting a new towel rail and am using this Danfoss TRV and lockshield:
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/43668/Plumbing/Radiator-Valves/Danfoss-Straight-TRV-Lockshield-Chrome
Trouble is that the lockshield is a 15mm compression joint and I can't get it to hold the plastic. I've used JG PEX 15mm and a JG pipe insert in the end but the pipe only pushes in about 3mm into the lockshield, which does not seem enough for a good grip. If I use PTFE wound round the olive and the thread will that help and be enough, or should I bite the bullet and use a copper tube in this section?
Thanks for any advice
Rich
