Assuming you took the rad off by disconnecting the valve did u put the white tape on a tighten up. Or if you disconnected the pipe did u make sure the olive was still there and insert the pipe tight into the valve |

"Took rad off to decorate, put back on, fine, then water pissing out pipe just below the valve."
If the valve was not leaking whilst the rad was off then chances are the leak is coming from joint between valve and rad.if it is leaking below the valve you might be able to just tighten the nut up, but be carefull to hold the valve body with a spanner as well or you could cause an even bigger leak.
( have a plumbers number to hand just in case lol ) |
