Silicone ring for boiler TEN under a flange of 48mm

The Black Silicone Sealing Ring for Water Heater Heating Element with Ø48 mm Flange is an essential sealing component used for installing heating elements in storage-type electric water heaters. It ensures a tight connection between the heating element flange and the tank, preventing water leaks and improving the overall reliability of the water heater.

Manufactured from premium heat-resistant silicone, the sealing ring offers excellent elasticity and resistance to hot water, temperature fluctuations, moisture, and aging. The material retains its mechanical properties even after prolonged use, ensuring long service life and dependable performance.

The sealing ring is intended for replacing worn or damaged gaskets during heating element replacement or routine maintenance of the water heater. It is recommended to install a new sealing ring every time the heating element is removed, as reusing an old gasket may compromise sealing performance and lead to leaks.

Advantages

• Made from high-quality heat-resistant silicone.
• Provides a reliable watertight seal for the heating element flange.
• Resistant to hot water, limescale, and temperature fluctuations.
• Maintains elasticity without cracking or hardening over time.
• Easy to install without special tools.
• Extends the service life of the heating element assembly.
• Compatible with most water heaters featuring a Ø48 mm flange.

Applications

The silicone sealing ring is designed for use in domestic electric storage water heaters (boilers) equipped with a 48 mm flange. It is compatible with heating elements used in water heaters manufactured by Thermex, Ariston, Electrolux, Gorenje, Ferroli, Galmet, Tesy, Atlantic and many other brands that use the same flange standard.

Installation Recommendations

• Thoroughly clean the mounting surface from limescale and remnants of the old gasket before installation.
• Ensure that the sealing ring is positioned evenly around the entire flange.
• Tighten the flange fasteners gradually and evenly, avoiding excessive force.
• After installation, check the water heater for leaks before putting it back into operation.

Although small in size, the silicone sealing ring is a critical component for the safe and reliable operation of a water heater. Replacing the gasket during maintenance helps prevent water leaks, protects the heating element from premature failure, and ensures long-lasting, trouble-free performance of the appliance.
