arrrggghh a little plumbing help please

[Pig Skill]

Guys/gals

Please can someone help me? - In our bathroom we have a heated towel rail.The actual 'rail' that you hang the towels on is removable from the main structure (assuming for easy manufacture and packing...) Anyway each end sits inside the main unit - there are two o rings on each end that is suppoed to form a water tight seal and two little grub screws that allow you to tweak and centralise the pipe. Anyway its leaking and i have removed the rail, renewed the seals but its still pissing out.

I have tried dring it all and smearing silicone inside the receiving pipe and on the ingoing pipe and left for a few days. Its still pisses out!.

Please can anyone recommend a suitable sealant/paste i can use to fix the problem?

Will boss white joing compound be suitable?

Please help as i am beginning to look a failure infornt of wife and children...

I'd be muttering something about specialist parts or poor lifespan of the current one and then either replace the lot or get a plumber in, as if you can't get a seal at the join is the pipe pressure tight enough?

Have you tried replacing the O rings yet and PTFE tape is worth a try .wrap it around the thread .

HiGuys

Sorry - poor explanation. The joint is not threaded its a push in fit with o rings for the seal.

Yes it is a ste design and i feel like ripping it out. However its a big expense and i would much rather seal it.

The O rings have been replaced and i have tried PTFE tape over them too.

The silicone almost worked so i thought a more specialist pipe sealent/joining compound may do the trick? Nit sure really

You could try this

.It does get to a stage where for all the mucking around just buying a new rail is the easiest option

I had similar and fixed it with some of this I found in the shed.

Possibly not ideal, but it stopped it

I use Blue Hylomar on compression joints (rads etc) and never had one leak yet. If it's good enough for a car's cooling system, it should easily be up to domestic central heating joints.
