Hi Guy's I know this has been asked before but please bear with me, I want to see what other options there are.
I have replaced a 1400 x 500 rad in my lounge with a Kudox from Screwfix. The new rad is 40mm shorter at the connections so I have a 20mm extension at each end from Toolstation. After the third attempt (using 15 wraps of PTFE) it is still leaking very slowly at one end between tail & extension.
If it turns out these extension are a load of ****, what other options do I have in terms of fittings?
I will probably get hold of some Loctite 55 and give that a try but will likely be Monday now.
The first picture shows the parts I'm using and the second picture shows where the leak is.
