I removed all fiberglass insulation from surrounding the water tanks during a tank repair, and need to replace the insulation.
Is this just regular R30 non-faced fiberglass insulation or is it more specific?
The boiler is a; Sequoyah Paradise, heat transfer machine "Big albert". Model #2400.
Any help will be appreciated, it's 23 degrees and will snow tonight. I need to put this thing back together.
Thanks again,
JimC
 
I don't know that boiler at all, but I doubt it's anything more special than ordinary fiberglass. If you are as in need as it sounds, I would just stuff it up with that. Make sure it doesn't come into contact with anything with fire on the other side. Like say a flue collar. Roxul could likely be used for a spot like that.
