I'm having the same problem as the original poster. Got some Aluminium
Designer Vertical Radiators, no matter what I do, I cannot stop the tails from

that have a short thread but a rubber seal on the end, thinking this will
surely nail it but to no avail. A frustrating and costly mistake buying these
rads.
