How to Stop a Leak in a Silver King Boiler

Boilers rely on hot water to create heat. A heating element increases the temperature of the water and the system then circulates the steam that results through a series of ducts to provide heat to a building. Boilers require occasional maintenance to keep them operating properly, but leaks require immediate attention. Silver King manufactures several products designed to keep boilers running properly. One of those products is a sealant designed to repair boiler leaks.
