Well my gasket officially broke apart as I took of the combustion fan for cleaning. Is this covered under warranty? Anyway, quad sells a silicone gasket. Has anyone here used it? Is it better, longer lasting? Alternatively, has anyone tried making one? I can get a square foot of the same material for 15 or the gasket from quad for 38.

Thanks
 
combustion or convection?

They sell a silicone gasket for a combustion blower? Id be surprised Id like to see it if you have a link for it somewhere.

No its not covered under warranty its meant to be replaced as part of servicing.
 
I replaced the original with the rubber upgrade 5 years ago. still looks new.

Thanks. It's a total joke that quad puts the fiberglass gasket on these things, but we are a consumer driven economy...
