Re: Where to buy silicone sealant for boiler blower assembly
Any of the high temp RTV silicone sealants I have ever seen are red in color and are good to 600 degrees F. Dow Corning, GE, Sprayon, etc all make it. The GE RTV108 is just a standard everyday silicone and I would not use it in high temp applications around a boiler.
Reading further it looks like the OP has found a product that will work fine. |

| I stand corrected. That's what happens when you only skim over a post. Certainly if Weil McLain states that it's OK to use then it most certainly is.
I actually installed a Weil McLain boiler about 25 years ago in my old house and I one time had to get into the flue box by removing the cover. At that time they specifically mentioned high temp RTV. I believe it was Dow Corning 736 that they recommended? |
