Baxi Brasilia

[stratplus]

Just removed one from my house.
Took heat hx out to look at the burner and what looks like a rope seal between this and the unit has perished.
On a service I take it you would replace this?
This unit is being scrapped but they don't seem too bad to work on or install. The flue is attached to the unit and pushed through the wall.

Brasilia seal?

Yes they are quite simple to service Paul. Replace the rope seal if needed. Did you never service it then?

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

Never used it! Replacing with a rad.

not sure ,i just buy baxi,s dedicated seal

I had a service on a one-year old Brazilia, Baxi said I would have to buy the entire cast front just to get the seal!

Didn't seem much of a groove to accommodate the seal from what I saw.
