Replacement 5/8" Graphite Tadpole Door Gasket for Wood Stoves
Restore the seal on your wood stove door with this 5/8" graphite tadpole gasket. Designed to fit compatible stove door gasket channels, this replacement seal helps reduce unwanted air leaks to support efficient combustion and consistent stove performance. The graphite-impregnated construction features a semi-rigid foil-wrapped core that conforms to the door channel while maintaining its shape during operation.
The convenient peel-and-stick backing allows for fast installation without requiring gasket cement in most applications. Built from durable, non-asbestos materials, this gasket resists mildew, will not absorb water, and minimizes fraying when trimmed to size.

Important Information:
Proper surface preparation is essential for a secure installation. Remove all remnants of the old gasket and thoroughly clean the gasket channel before applying the new seal.
Although the peel-and-stick backing is designed to hold the gasket in place, stove and gasket cement may be used for additional retention if desired. High-temperature silicone sealants are not recommended for gasket installation or stove repair.
FAQs:
Q: Does this gasket require gasket cement?
A: No. The peel-and-stick backing is designed for installation without cement. Gasket cement may be used for additional holding power if preferred.
