Legend Rope Gasket
« on: November 20, 2014, 05:40:41 AM »

I have a Legend Boiler, going on my second year, and I think I need to replace my gasket.  It always has either red hot coals, or an active flame when I open the door even when the temp is well above my shutoff, so it seems it has to be leaking air.  The top of my rope gasket is still pliable, but the bottom is rock hard, is there a way to restore that?  Or should I just replace it?  Also wondering if anyone knows what size rope the Legend uses, or how to measure it, I am guessing a gasket shrinks a bit after its installed and in service?  Thanks

Mike

Sounds like it needs replacement, I'm sure the manufacturer could supply you with the proper gasket

Like slim said I would check with the manufacture or your sales man just so you know you got the proper length
