Fitment Note:
This is a generic replacement gasket sold by size and profile and is not intended to represent an OEM gasket for any specific appliance manufacturer. Before ordering, compare the dimensions and profile of your existing gasket with the specifications shown above. Always consult your appliance owner's manual or parts diagram when available.
Gasket dimensions alone should not be used to determine compatibility. Confirm the double tadpole profile, width, thickness, fiberglass construction, PSA backing configuration, installation method, and required length before ordering.
How Much Double Tadpole Gasket Should I Order?
Measure the complete perimeter or gasket path around the glass before ordering. Because this product is sold by the running foot, simply enter the total number of feet required as the quantity.
Ordering Example:
If your application requires 7 feet of gasket, enter a quantity of 7. You will receive approximately 7 continuous feet of Total Hearth 1" x 3/8" Double Tadpole Glass Gasket whenever possible.
If you are replacing gasket material on multiple glass panels or doors, measure each required gasket path and add the measurements together before determining your order quantity. We recommend allowing a small amount of additional material for trimming and final fitting.
About the Double Tadpole Gasket Design:
A double tadpole gasket uses a specialized woven fiberglass profile designed to provide the sealing characteristics required by compatible glass assemblies. Unlike conventional round stove rope gasket, this profile is specifically shaped for applications originally designed around tadpole-style gasket material.
The flexible woven construction allows the gasket to conform around the glass and mating surfaces while the flat PSA-backed section provides a convenient mounting area. Using the correct gasket profile is important because conventional round rope or flat tape gasket may not provide the same fit or sealing characteristics.
When Should a Glass Tadpole Gasket Be Replaced?
Stove and fireplace glass gaskets are subjected to repeated heating, cooling, compression, and normal appliance use. Over time, the fiberglass material can become compressed, flattened, frayed, hardened, torn, loose, separated, or otherwise deteriorated.
Inspect the gasket whenever servicing or removing the appliance glass. Replacement should be considered when the existing gasket has lost its original profile, is excessively compressed, shows visible damage, or can no longer provide the intended seal.
Woven Fiberglass Construction:
This double tadpole gasket is manufactured from woven fiberglass designed for demanding heating appliance applications. The medium-knit construction provides the flexibility needed to follow compatible glass assemblies while maintaining the specialized double tadpole profile.
Self-Adhesive PSA Backing:
This gasket features a 1" pressure-sensitive adhesive backing to simplify installation. The PSA backing helps hold the gasket in position while it is fitted around the glass or sealing surface and while the glass assembly is being reinstalled.
The adhesive is primarily designed to assist with gasket placement. Always follow the appliance manufacturer's recommended installation and fastening procedures for the glass assembly.
Installation Tips:
• Allow the appliance and glass to cool completely before beginning installation
• Follow the appliance manufacturer's service procedures before removing the glass assembly
• Carefully observe the position, profile, and orientation of the original gasket before removing it
• Take photos during disassembly if needed for installation reference
• Remove the old gasket, loose fiberglass, adhesive residue, dirt, and debris
• Make sure the mounting surface is clean and dry before installing the replacement gasket
• Compare the replacement gasket profile and dimensions with the original before installation
• Test-fit the gasket before removing the PSA backing
• Remove the adhesive backing gradually while pressing the gasket evenly into position
• Avoid stretching or pulling the fiberglass gasket during installation
• Maintain a consistent gasket profile around corners and bends
• Trim excess gasket only after confirming the final fit
• Reinstall the glass according to the appliance manufacturer's instructions
• Do not overtighten glass retainers or mounting hardware
Important Installation Note:
Proper glass and gasket installation is important for safe heating appliance operation. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific stove, fireplace, or heating appliance. If you are uncertain about gasket compatibility, installation procedures, or the condition of the glass assembly, consult a qualified appliance service technician.
