        I have an old radiator that keeps leaking, where the pipe connects to the radiator valve. The pipe is either 8mm or 10mm (i cannot tell) ,I’ve checked there’s an olive & i’ve put more PTFE tape on & re-tightened the nut, yet it still leaks . Is there something else i can do to relieve this problem? many thanks.

          hi I’ve had this problem in the past and cant remember why it kept leaking. I do know I renewed the valve and a short length of pipe to the valve and the leak stopped. When you disconnect the pipe look very carefully at the connection there will be some fault which sould be obvious.Sorry cant be more specific but I did same as you PTFE Tape twice before I sussed it. Colin still in the UK but visa to Oz applied for.
