Hi
I have just replaced a 15mm stopcock tap in my airing cupboard. Fitted it fine with PTFE tap to create a better seal.
Once open it leaks from the top of the nut, only a slow one. Any ideas what it can be...? I added PTFE tape to the olive as well as the thread on the unit.
Maybe not enough PTFE or something else? Possibly leave it off so it seals itself?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
