As part of the upcoming bathroom refit I'm replacing the exising 30 odd year old rad with a Stelrad compact. The existing one has no fins on the back, is avocado green with rusty bits. For the sake of £28 it wasn't worth faffing around cleaning it up and re painting.
The instructions say to use PTFE on the valve threads but I also picked up some loctite 55 as I need it for some threaded connections in the shower install (Trevi Boost) and wondered if I'd be better off just using that to ensure a seal first time out?
I've seen a lot of people sing the praises of the Loctite on here and elsewhere and mention how easy it is to guarantee no leaks first time out compared to PTFE which sometimes takes 3 or 4 goes to get it right.
