    Hi :H ,Can anyone recommend anything (What do the pro teams do)? or is there a sealant on the market that I can use on the extension valves to stop them leaking air so quickly, i’m in the process of fitting tubs, so don’t fancy getting them off too soon because of a leaky valve!
    Always grateful for any invaluable knowledge :B

    I can see PTFE tape working well or a dab of sealant like Sika flex on the thread.
