CH Pump sealant
- Thread starter MikeToo
- Start date
(Assuming you mean on the large-diameter joint between pump and isolating valve.)
Ideally, nothing - especially not a hard-setting sealant - it'll only make the pump difficult to remove later.
If possible, DO NOT use the fibre washers that come with some pump valves. The rubber washers that come with good makes of pumps (eg. Grundfos) are more satisfactory.
