The instructions for my heater state to fill the cavity around the B vent with 350 degree Silastic. Were do you find this stuff. I found some 3M fire rated type caulk but no Silastic. Can anyone help me with this.

If I may ask, what make and model heater is this. Is this a wall thimble application?

I use high temperature caulk(red stuff). I think it's rated to 550, which the outer shell of b-vent never gets.
