Key Features:
- 1/2-inch tadpole (bulb and tail) gasket design

Important Information: Compare this gasket with your existing seal or consult your stove owner's manual before ordering. Tadpole gaskets are appliance-specific and are not universally interchangeable.
The self-adhesive backing is designed to hold the gasket in place during installation. If your stove manufacturer recommends additional gasket cement, it may be used. Do not use high-temperature silicone as a gasket adhesive.
Order enough material to replace the entire gasket for the best sealing performance.
FAQs:
