Re: Where to buy silicone sealant for boiler blower assembly
For the silicon I'd probably use high-temperature silicon. I'm assuming this goes on the flue box so it will get kind of hot.
It shouldn't be too hard to find. HVAC stores should have it I think. |

Marlborough, MA | I called my local ACE Hardware in Hudson, MA and they have "Rutland High Heat Silicone Sealant" in stock. I will pick one up after work today.

| It's also likely it's not the motor or the capacitor. The squirrel cage they use on those draft inducers (as you can see in the photo) aren't made out of the best steel. One of the byproducts of combustion is H2O (water), so the blower wheels will literally disintegrate inside the housing due to rust. Have you taken the assembly out of the boiler and looked at the squirrel cage?
As far as the high temperature silicone sealant, most auto parts stores sell it. As far as the capacitor, the specifications should be printed or etched on the capacitor. |
