Boiler Flue Gasket

[Range185]

Hi,
Is it possible to buy external flue gaskets ?

I want to obtain one to fit over the flue on the external wall, as the sealant is very degraded and you can see the gap in the wall which can let the elements in slightly.

Is it safe and acceptable to install a rubber gasket over the existing flue joint on a Powermax 185 external flue ?

Regards,

No. Flueing is critical to powermax range. You can only fit parts manufactured specifically for the purpose and potterton don't make one. Renew the flue section, don't bodge

Wasn't it a powermax flueing prob that killed that woman in Oxford?
