Gasket fell of off T clean out

[maineah1214]

Hey all,

I am on my second year (stove is one full year old now) on a Santa Fe. I have the T clean out coming out the back. I took the clean out off (two screws, pan type thing drops out) and the gasket is hanging down now. I tried sticking it back up in there but it just falls down. Should i just jam it up there? I noticed its not silicone like the rest so I am not sure how important this clean out gasket is to the positive press system of the exhaust. I attached a pic for reference.

Thanks

Can you try using a little high temp caulk to hold it in place? or some high temp aluminum tape till you get it back together? Will it set on the T when you put it back on? It is just a seal between the two pipe walls.
