Central Heating Leak Sealer – Seals Hidden Leaks
Vitcas Central Heating Leak Sealer fixes hidden leaks and weeping radiator joints in sealed heating systems. Reduces pressure loss, improves circulation, and is safe for aluminium, underfloor heating, plastic tanks, and microbore pipework.
Leak Sealer - Internal Central Heating Leak Repair
Vitcas Leak Sealer is a high-performance internal sealing solution designed for repairing and sealing small, inaccessible leaks and weeping joints in sealed, fully indirect central heating systems. It prevents pressure loss in the primary circuit and eliminates the need for costly repair work or system drain-down. The advanced formulation circulates freely without blocking pumps, valves, or automatic air vents.
Compatible with all standard water treatment chemicals, including corrosion inhibitors, and suitable for mixed-metal systems including aluminium. Once added to the system, it forms a soft and durable internal seal within 1 to 24 hours.
