Does the nut need to be kept tight on it then
no , just finger tight is fine , i work on ideal boilers all day , pain when people make them tight with a spanner , new ideal models such the logic have a larger plastic nut now
Does finger tight seal the joint then?
slightly more than finger tight , doesnt need to be very tight as the pressure that the gasses are at are very small, easy to test if its leaking as you will feel warm air on your hand when placed near it when boiler is running if you are worried about it, as previously stated it is there to enable your service engineer to measure how your boiler is performing it has no user function whatsoever so you would never need to touch it
Of course that implies that with it being an Ideal boiler it is working in the first place.
