Tadpole Gasket – 7/8" Bulb x 1" Flat x 1-7/8" Overall – Sold by Foot

Total Hearth Woven Tadpole Gasket – 7/8" Bulb x 1" Flat x 1-7/8" Overall – Graphite Fiberglass with PSA – Sold by the Running Foot

Restore a proper high-temperature seal with this Total Hearth Woven Tadpole Gasket. Designed for compatible stove, fireplace, insert, door, glass, equipment, and other high-temperature sealing applications, this specialty gasket features a 15PWM 4W woven tadpole construction.

The profile combines an approximately 7/8" compressible woven bulb with a 1" flat mounting section for an overall width of approximately 1-7/8". Graphite-treated fiberglass construction provides durability in demanding high-temperature environments, while the pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing helps hold and position the gasket during installation.

Because this gasket is sold by the running foot, you can purchase exactly the amount required for your repair, restoration, or fabrication project.

IMPORTANT – SOLD BY THE RUNNING FOOT:
This gasket is sold by the individual running foot. Enter the quantity based on the total number of feet required.
• Quantity 1 = 1 foot
• Quantity 2 = 2 continuous feet
• Quantity 3 = 3 continuous feet
• Quantity 5 = 5 continuous feet
• Quantity 10 = 10 continuous feet
• Quantity 15 = 15 continuous feet

Whenever possible, multiple feet ordered will be supplied as one continuous length rather than individual 1-foot sections. Measure the complete gasket path before ordering and consider allowing a small amount of additional material for trimming and final fitting.

How to Order:
Enter the total number of feet required as your order quantity. For example, if your application requires 8 feet, enter a quantity of 8. You will receive approximately 8 continuous feet whenever possible.

If you are replacing gasket material on multiple doors, panels, or sealing surfaces, measure each gasket path and add the measurements together before determining your order quantity.

Fitment Note:
This is a generic Total Hearth replacement gasket and is not manufactured specifically for one appliance brand or model. Carefully compare your existing gasket or application with the approximately 7/8" bulb, 1" flat section, 1-7/8" overall width, woven construction, graphite finish, and PSA backing.

Do not select a replacement based on overall width alone. Bulb diameter, flat width, profile, mounting orientation, available gap, and required compression should all be considered when determining compatibility.

About the Woven Tadpole Design:
Unlike conventional round rope or flat gasket tape, a tadpole gasket combines a compressible woven bulb with a flat mounting tail. This provides a compressible sealing surface along with a convenient mounting area.

On this gasket, the approximately 7/8" woven bulb provides the primary sealing section while the approximately 1" flat section provides the mounting area. Together, the complete profile measures approximately 1-7/8" overall.

When Should Tadpole Gasket Be Replaced?
Replacement may be needed when you notice:
• Flattened or excessively compressed gasket material
• Frayed or torn fiberglass
• Hardened or brittle areas
• Missing gasket material
• Separation from the mounting surface
• Deteriorated PSA backing
• Visible gaps around the sealing surface
• Loss of the original woven tadpole profile

PSA Self-Adhesive Backing:
The pressure-sensitive adhesive helps hold the gasket in position during installation. Clean old adhesive, dirt, grease, soot, and debris from the mounting area and allow the surface to dry completely before installation.

The PSA is primarily intended to assist with gasket positioning. Depending on the application and mounting configuration, additional high-temperature adhesive or mechanical retention may be required.

Installation Tips:
• Compare the replacement profile with your original gasket before installation
• Thoroughly clean and dry the mounting surface
• Test-fit before removing the PSA liner
• Confirm proper bulb orientation
• Remove the adhesive backing gradually
• Do not stretch the woven gasket
• Maintain consistent positioning around corners and curves
• Check the fit and compression before finalizing installation
• Trim only after determining the final required length
