Hi
To all you experienced plumbers out there. I have a weeping radiator valve, where a 10mm copper pipe connects to it. I have tried tightening the nut, which I believe squeezes the olive, and should stop the leak. However this did stop the leak for a few hours but not permanently.
I do not want to keep tightening the nut for fear of crushing the pipe. Has anyone have any solutions.
many thanks
Paul
