1. Gasket material is available from other sources, but any I have found require a minimum order - around 100 feet or so.

2. Red sealant is rated for 600*F, black for 450*F, otherwise, I don't see a difference. It is really sticky and doesn't wipe off cleanly like regular silicone - very messy!

Just as a curiosity question - how does the pricing from those other sources compare to the EKO price if you divide that 100' minimum by the length in the EKO kit? That might give a better idea of how much markup there is...

I hav installed the gasket - pics are in another thread. I had to back the door hinges out a few turns, and it is still tight. The gasket fits in the groove nicely, but the door is a little hard to close - I had to push on it a bit. I think it will settle into the groove with some heat, but I have not had a chance to fire the boiler yet to find out.

Yes that is what I got. Medman thanks for confirming it's correct and showing it installed.

RE : Zenon
It always seemed odd to me that he was both a distributor and a dealer , not a smart situation for the manufacturer or the dealers. I saw the same thing happen in the telecommunications industry a few years back and it led to a number of companies going under that didn't need to.
