Product Uses Fernox Leak Sealer F4 is used throughout domestic heating systems for sealing small inaccessible leaks.

The sealing efficiency of Leak Sealer F4 has been intentionally limited to prevent blockage of safety devices, pumps, etc.
For long term protection against corrosion the system should also be treated with a Fernox Protector.

Switch on the circulating pump and apply at least a small amount of heat to achieve an even distribution.
