One mistake here , you using gas ptfe tape which is thicker, if you have ordinary ptfe tape you need to put more rounds because it’s thinner than gas ptfe ...

White and yellow are water safe due to specs. Green for oxygen lines, silver for stainless steel and there is a pink one for something else. The gas tape can be used for installing none drinking water application. But yes if you use white tape I tend to do a few more passes.

Giving wrong tip. For radiators tails always 20 turns of PTFE tape.

@@dunlaoghaire1000 I had to use about 15 if I remember correctly. That type of connection is a nightmare. The metal in that area has proven very rust-prone, so I would suggest using "pipe dope" as well as the tape.

Having just replaced a radiator for the first time, I can wholeheartedly agree that 2-3 wraps is no where near enough. I agree with NxReefa - 20 wraps is closer to the reality 😄

Plenty of vids on YT showing anti-clockwise application of ptfe!! Also, it won’t take long for you to find a video showing the fitting of a bleed valve in the bottom of a towle rad!!! Gotta larf.

These valves often leak when turned on and off, advice I always give customers is to leave them be. If your looking to be able to shut the radiator down at all, you should fit a chrome type Trv valve on one side 👍🏻
