Baxi Boiler - Part Identification

[BassJay]

Hi All,

I have 29 year old Baxi 24kw conventional boiler (No model number sorry) in front of the burners inside the case is what I can best describe as a rectangular piece of insulation\fibre board\rockwool consistency which protects the case from getting hot. This has cracked and fallen into the burner (Non flammable didn't cause an issue) I called out a boiler engineer who told me the part is no longer available so my only option is a new boiler.

Whilst I believe the engineer that Baxi probably stopped producing a rectangle of that 'substance' many moons ago I don't believe I can't obtain the same stuff and have someone cut it down and install it... It seems crazy to scrap the boiler due to what seems like such a small issue.

So any idea what this mystery material might be? Fire proof and presumably very good at not transmitting heat.

Any help very much appreciated.

Just been informed it's pretty standard insulation which an independent engineer would have easy access to install... So I was just being fobbed off thanks for looking anyway!

A picture would have been useful

U can buy it in 5/10/15mm thick 500x500mm sheets from boilers spares merchants.
You will need a gas engineer though.
Please don't assume you can just cut to size and fire the boiler back up.

Technically Baxi are correct because it is not the specified part for that boiler.
