How to change a central heating TRV valve on a radiator

Disappointed, I was enjoying the content up until this point. 😬 Jointing compound on the threads… that’s a red flag that you don’t have an understanding of how a compression fitting makes a seal.

I've seen a lot of people point out jointing compound (dope here in the US) is often used as lube on threads as opposed to a seal when there are other sealing means on the joint. I started doing it myself and do find fittings go together easier with a little lube 😉

Unnecessary putting compound on the thread. On olive ok

A plumber tried to charge me 130 to do this very thing. Needles to say I did it myself.

@@nindes it took me a few minutes: drained the system , unscrewed two nuts, replaced the part which cost me 7 pounds and tightened the nuts then topped up the system. You obviously don't know what you're talking.

Didn't need to drain the system, didn't need jointing compound. Do that on my sites and I'd kick you off the job

He should have PTFE on those threads 😂😂😂😂what a lot of nonsense

@ashleewainwright7877 7 ай бұрын

No 😂 jointing compound on the olive or a few wraps of ptfe , if it doesn’t get past the olive it won’t get past the thread simples. It’s a compression fitting not a threaded insert.
