ME Vertical Boiler

[martin ranson 2Participant @martinranson2]

In the latest issue of Model Engineer, issue 4612, Martin Gearing is running a series concerning the ME vertical boiler … he mentions the use of a thread sealant for use with propane gas … please could Martin (or anyone else ) tell us the name of a suitable product ?? … hopefully I can buy it at the local plumbers/builders merchants.

A big pot of Boss White from B&Q will set you back £4. Good enough for LBSC…

"This jointing compound from Boss is suitable for use with hot and cold water (non-potable duties) natural gas and low pressure steam up to 7 bar pressure and 200°c. "

Have you got a Toolstation near you or a traditional plumbers merchants, both should have it or another similar make like Fernox or Laco which your local Screwfix should have
