The exhaust on our Hurricane Hydronic Heater has an insulating sleeve around it from the heater to the exhaust port.
Recently, this sleeve became soiled with diesel (wicked up from the boiler/tank insulation) due to a failed start sequence that allowed fuel to be pumped into the burner chamber.
The heater has been repaired (new control board and injector nozzle) but I had to remove the sleeve as it smokes off diesel when the heater exhaust gets up to temp.
I’d like to replace it but can’t seem to source it. The exhaust is 2” OD flexible pipe and the old sleeve is 2.5” ID in what looks like fiberglass. The sleeve is basically a 5’ long fabric tube sock.
ITR doesn’t specify the installation of this sleeve or any other exhaust insulation so I suspect the PO added it because the exhaust goes from the ER through the floor under he dinette to exit the port hull.
I’m finding plenty of ‘header wrap’ options but would prefer to replace like to like. Any ideas on sourcing something similar?

Thanks in advance!
