I’ve been told I should pay £130 more for some feet due to the weight of a triple column rad on plasterboard walls, but you’ve fitted this without?

Yes. Not many threads in some of em for the tails to screw into. You are correct Brian. The one in the video looks fine though. In fact it has o rings.

I've got one that's leaking from the bottom outlet. Would you just recommend more PTFE tape or should I get some plumbers mate too?

@@tomevans8749 the rad that I have didn't have many threads. Some rads are better. Mine just needed about thirty raps of ptfe. It's all good now. From memory there was about 8mm of thread in the radiator and it was a slack thread too.
