Test Multiple Rope Gasket Sizes Before Buying Your Replacement
Choosing the correct rope gasket size is easier with this Rope Gasket Sampler Kit. If you're unsure which gasket diameter your wood stove or fireplace insert requires, this kit lets you compare several common sizes before purchasing a full replacement. Each sample is designed to fit directly into your stove's gasket channel, helping you identify the proper diameter for a secure seal.
Constructed from graphite-impregnated fiberglass, these sample sections provide an accurate representation of the gasket material commonly used in high-temperature stove applications.
Key Features:
- Includes four common rope gasket diameters for size comparison
- Each sample measures approximately 4 inches long
- Made from graphite-impregnated fiberglass rope
- Helps identify the proper gasket diameter before ordering

Important Information:
