Default Leaking Towel Rad ...

So what's the answer ? More tape ?


Yup.

Pull the tails up a bit tighter ?


With plenty PTFE you can use the tails to adjust the fit to the valves
slightly - they don't have to be tightened up till they groan, and still
won't leak.

Some different thread sealer ? Obviously, it's a pain in the arse to
have to keep draining the rad, and taking it back off the wall, so a
'guaranteed fix-in-one' would be nice, if anyone's had this problem,
and sorted it.


The one sealer I wouldn't be without is Fernox LS-X. But shouldn't be
needed here.
