My flow valve is leaking. I have tried to tighten nut after taking off the tap thing but gets worse. Is there an easy fix or should i just get a plumber out. Don't want to waste money if easy fix.

Is it leaking on the radiator side of the tap or the pipe side?
Either way you will have to drain down considerable amounts of system water to get PTFE tape around the joint thread or olive
My advice would be to get a plumber or good handyman that knows his way around plumbing or you might end up making it worse.

Thanks. It from the opp of the thermostatic valve. Valve with screw on head. Think i will get a plumber. Trying to save money can cost me in the long run.

I recommend getting a plumber in Waggy, he'll sort your valve out in no time, messing about with your own valve could cause more leaks and it could go everywhere and take forever to clean up!

I’ve turned off the valve and put a bowl under it and it's still dripping. Do i need to turn off the thermostatic valve too? Anyone?
