I had a very slow leak at the union of my boiler circulation pump to the flange on the connected pipe. I've unbolted and removed the gasket, it appears the correct circular type gasket was used.
Pump: Bell & Gossett Series HV 1/6HP 1102210 - 1-1/2" size
I'm concerned the flanges installed on the iron pipes are not the correct B&G type to match the pump, maybe they are generic or older type. They are fairly old and rusted, so it is hard to tell. Perhaps they are too corroded to be effective at this point? Should the pipe flanges be a matching B&G part to ensure a proper seal with the gasket?
Photos of flanges and pumps here - any ideas if the flanges might need replacement, or should simply try a new gasket first?
