I've got hold of a new plastic Halcyon inflator and intend to replace the SS inflator on my Explorer.

looking at the installation instructions in the Inflator manual Halcon suggest the following:

"Using a room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone adhesive/sealant, lightly coat cleansed area of the inflator. If an RTV silicone adhesive cannot be found, a silicone sealant that is approved for aquarium use is an acceptable alternative."

Is this the same as the Silicone Sealant used when sealing baths, showers etc?

I'm intending to carry a spare inflator in the spares box - is the use of sealant really necessary?

Thanks
