Thanks so much. With your help, I worked out that I had a leak from the packing nut. Watching your video gave me confidence that that nut could be removed, cleaned up and ptfe wrapped to solve it without getting drenched.
Great Chris.
Thanks. Explained thoroughly on each of the possibilities. Helped me fix the leaks on the usual nut.
You're welcome!
Thank's Al, another great video!

I'd have a question though... I've been looking around for quite a while now and i just can't seem to get the right answer so here goes...
I'm incredibly NOT at home with the parts of the radiator so I'm just gonna guess here... the little pipe that goes off at the bottom... the "bleeding hole" thingy i think?
So basically that has started to drip water and as a result of that(least I'm guessing it is) the boiler has virtually 0 pressure.
I have been suggested to get some sealing foam up there but i think to myself that it must be there for a reason... thus outright break in the long term.
Any advise on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Great clip as always. Very educational 🤓
Many thanks
Keep them coming
Thanks Alex.
Thanks for the video. What if the leak is coming from the lower nut? - the one that connects to the PVC pipe? - that's where my leak is.
You can try tightening it with a spanner.
Used to use wool covered in Vaseline for the gland when I was a lad.😀
We used to use string with wax on it.
@@dereton33 We could barely afford string and wax was reserved as a Christmas treat .....
Hi, am trying to do the packing gland at the top but loads of water keeps coming out. Do I turn the water off b
You can shut the valve itself. The one you are working on.
Does the radiator need draining to remove the packing gland?
No no need
mine is leaking on the drainage pipe. how to fix it. thanks.
Renew the washer in the drain valve.
Mine is leaking from the drain off bit on the right. What should I do?
Try tightening the drain valve.
Thank you I will give it a try
Hi Dereton, Excellent video but I've just discovered my radiator has a leak stain from the top, the bleed valve and it's all rusty. the part at the back of the bleed valve is rusty and there's a long rusty drip down the side of my radiator.
Rads cannot be repaired. Shut off both ends of the rad to isolate it.
@@dereton33 Thanks for your prompt reply. Does that mean I need to call the plumber rather than replace the bleed valve ?
If the back of the rad is leaking by the bleed valve a new rad will be required.
Where is 🐶❓
