A boiler cover gasket, also known as a boiler door gasket, is a seal placed between the cover and the main body of a boiler. It's typically made from a heat-resistant and compressible material to create a tight fit.
Here's what a boiler cover gasket does:
- Prevents leaks: The main function is to stop leaks of air, water, or combustion gases from escaping the boiler. This helps maintain efficiency and prevents potential safety hazards.
- Improves insulation: A good gasket can slightly improve the boiler's insulation by reducing heat loss around the cover.
