Range Boiler Jacket was a cover made to fit range boilers, built up from corrugated asbestos paper.1,2 In its 1989 filing with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Asbestos Information Act, made for itself and The Ruberoid Co., GAF described it as plies of coarse corrugated asbestos paper, four plies per inch, built up on mandrels the same size as the range boilers it was made to fit, and furnished in upper and lower halves.1
A 1990 EPA notice that published what GAF reported gives the same description, and no years for the product.2
