Got a weeping joint on a rad , have tried tightening and ptfe tape but no luck, is there any sealant I can put around it until I can get a plumber in to look at it ?
Rad refitted after bathroom refurb, leaking from top of the lower joint/nut, fitter came back after we first spotted leak around a month ago, resealed with ptfe paste ??
Can't come out til Friday so need a fix as its leaking below shut off valve.
Still weeping this morning guess thats just gravity (rad is in downstairs bathroom).
Is it still ok to run the hot water off the boiler (its a combi) with no pressure ??
Had to get someone out in the end, the person who’d fitted it had used twine to help seal so when it came off it’s no wonder it wouldn’t reseal

Just make sure to use gas grade PTFE tape.Yes, a 15mm compression stop.
You just need a 15mm compression joint to join the 2 together.But why do you need to reconnect it and to what?
