sunrad leaking

IZZY

I have a sunrad radiator in a hot water heating system that is leaking from the side (end section). I haven't pulled it out yet to see if a plug rotted out or if the section actually rotted out. Can I replace the end section and how, and if so is it worth it, or should I look to replace the whole unit?
Thanks.

I guess it depends on the quality of the leak, Izzy. JB Weld might get the job done if you can get at the area and prepare it properly.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I do have to remove the radiator to get to the leak, so I will have access. Does it pay to try to remove and replace the section or this going to be more trouble than it is worth? Thanks again.

I'd try the JB first. It's great stuff, ad long as you can prep for it.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it.
