Feed - take it apart (including any adaptors), check threads and if ok re-assemble. (is PTFE ok here???)


Return - take off silicone return elbow and check for splits etc, if all good, re-secure and away you go.

Ptfe tape is a pv glue based tape that is commonly used buy plumbers for extra seal on threads such as compression joints ect.... Ul be able to get it from wickes or similar

Good stuff just tape up the thread and screw the nut on

I wouldn't personally use ptfe tape as its not oil or petrol resistant.. Use thread lock as most of that stuff is resistant to oil n petrol (google it to see what's best used)
