Hi All.
After just over 11 years of faithful service, Miss Silvia started tripping the RCD the other day when she got hot. A quick check revealed that the leakage current was coming from the heating element.
I've got a new boiler coming, and just had a couple of questions for people who have done this.
I've seen some recommendations to put gasket sealer or gasket former around the o-ring at the base of the boiler, but some sites don't mention it.
Also, some people seem to recommend using thread sealer on the OPV/boiler connection.
I was just wondering what people's experiences are with/without using these?
Cheers,
Brett.
