Rad valves

[dazplum]

Hi all is there a good combination of sealants that will stop a leak where the valves screw into the rad?
I used ptfe tape and lsx gel and the leak was cured.
Out of interest I had 7 turns of ptfe.
Any thoughts?

Do you find customers loose faith in your abilities quickly on the slightest of leaks?
Because its a bit of hit and miss secureing a water tight rad valve seal, some customers think because you are a plumber, there should be no leak.
Maybe its me lol>:38:

I tend to try to not have leaks or you dont get phone calls asking for quotes! Being called leaky lewis or puddle doesnt inspire confidence from Jo public. Dry clean carpets equals repeat business

I no, where you are coming from.
Shame we have a bit of a guessing game.
Sorry love I only put on 7,12.14. turns of tape?:wacko:
