Hi all
I have two of these valves, on two radiators. Both weeping out the top of the stem, one worse than the other.
Turned them both off and took off the gland nuts to pack them with PTFE. One stopped leaking when the gland nut was off (and the valve was closed) and the other carried on...
The one that carried on leaking when the valve was closed is still leaking. Does this mean something else/ different is wrong with it? Will packing it out more work?
Is it meant to stop weeping when you turn the valve off?
Any advice appreciated -
thanks
Stuart
