Zero Board Insulation.

[Stevekng]

My Enviro Vista Flame VF100 will need some insulation cloth that goes behind the center firebox panel. The piece that's in there is 8 years old and is falling apart. I had an oil service tech here today putting a part in my FHA furnace and he said that the cloth is VERY expensive. I know that the Enviro OEM replacement part is over $200. The tech told me about some material called "Zero Board" that is pretty cheap. It comes in 1", 3/4", and 1/2" thickness. The tech also told me that the stuff will withstand over 1500 . Does any one know if the Zero Board will be an acceptable replacement for the original cloth?

Not saying these are the right products but given what it does/specifications.....I'd research it and see if it would be suitable.

Looks like a kaowool-type material. A good HW store should have sheets of that stuff.

Thanks, by the way are those German Shorthairs in your avatar? I had one (female ) that lived for 14 years. She (Koko) was the best Frisbee dog in the world. She would jump 5ft. and do flip to catch one; chase one down running 200+ ft. Great dogs. I have Weimaraners now, though.

It isn't in the greatest shape. Maybe I should've changed it a lot sooner.

Thats what they are ( German shorthaired pointers ). the old lady ( brown one ) is 13 and still the best
upland bird dog I've ever owned.The one in behind is a 2 year old still in training and the great great Grand
son of the brown one.
