Silicone ring for boiler heating element under flange G 1 1/4

The Red Silicone Sealing Ring for Water Heater Heating Element with G1¼ (1 1/4″) Thread is an essential sealing component designed to ensure a watertight connection between the threaded heating element and the water heater tank. It provides a secure seal, preventing water leaks and ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the appliance.

Manufactured from premium-quality heat-resistant silicone, the sealing ring offers excellent flexibility and outstanding resistance to hot water, steam, temperature fluctuations, moisture, and aging. The material retains its physical properties over long periods of use, without hardening, cracking, or losing elasticity, even under continuous high-temperature operating conditions.

The silicone sealing ring is intended for installation with new threaded heating elements or for replacing worn seals during routine maintenance of electric water heaters. For maximum sealing performance, it is recommended to replace the gasket every time the heating element is removed.

Key Advantages

• Made from high-quality heat-resistant silicone.
• Provides a reliable watertight seal for threaded heating elements.
• Resistant to hot water, steam, limescale, and temperature fluctuations.
• Maintains flexibility without cracking or hardening over time.
• Long service life and dependable performance.
• Easy to install without special tools.
• Compatible with G1¼ (1 1/4″) threaded heating elements.

Applications

The sealing ring is designed for use in domestic electric storage water heaters equipped with G1¼ (1 1/4″) threaded heating elements. It is suitable for repair, maintenance, or replacement of heating elements, ensuring reliable sealing and long-lasting operation of the water heater.

Installation Recommendations

• Clean the threaded connection and sealing surface thoroughly, removing limescale, dirt, and remnants of the old gasket before installation.
• Install the silicone sealing ring evenly, ensuring it is not twisted or misaligned.
• Tighten the threaded heating element using the recommended torque, avoiding excessive force.
• After installation, fill the water heater with water and carefully check for leaks before reconnecting the electrical power.

The Red Silicone Sealing Ring G1¼ is a small yet critical component that ensures the safe and efficient operation of threaded water heater heating elements. Replacing the seal during maintenance helps prevent water leaks, protects both the heating element and the water heater tank from damage, and significantly extends the service life of the entire heating system.
