It's a silicone dipped special thingy...you should try to get it from the folks up woodboilers.com - it's probably considered metric size.

thanks for your reply

they wont ship outside usa, I even contacted the manufacturer direct and received a reply from the managing director in denmark saying although they dont deal direct with end users he would help me "without problems". that was two weeks ago and still havent received a reply with a price or procedure for buying service parts so starting to lose hope and look for alternative solution. if the main director cant help me what hope is there....

cant a normal fibreglass rope gasket do the trick?

 

[webbie]

Where are you located? As I remember, the gasket was a regular fiberglass or similar, but it was dipped in silicone so it sealed a bit better.

Im in Hungary Eastern Europe.

This is the gasket that goes in the groove of the doors, Is there another gasket that goes behind the door frame between the frame and the boiler itself? Whats that made of?

 

[webbie]

Yes, each door frame has two gaskets - they were totally flat and fairly hard. One went between the boiler and jacket and the other between jacket and door frame.

These could easily be replaced with silicone caulking or similar material.

I contacted one party who may have gaskets to see about shipping.

The main door gaskets have to seal fairly tightly. Maybe someone here can inform us if other similar boilers in Europe use the same type of gasket. EKO, etc may use something similar.

It appears to me that the original gasket is a fiberglass but dipped in liquid silicone.

Here is an example of a "dip" which you may be able to use with regular gasketing....

Perhaps you can find something like that over in the EU.

Try googling "silicone coated fiberglass gasket" or similar terms over there.
