Drolet Wood Stove Gasket Kit – 3/8" x 7ft Rope Gasket + Adhesive

Drolet Wood Stove Gasket Kit – 3/8" x 7ft Graphite Rope Gasket with Adhesive

Restore the proper seal on your compatible Drolet wood stove with this 3/8" Fiberglass Rope Gasket Kit. The kit includes approximately 7 feet of 3/8" graphite-impregnated fiberglass rope gasket along with a 2 oz bottle of gasket adhesive for a convenient replacement installation.

Drolet wood stoves can use several different gasket sizes depending on the stove model, production date, and gasket location. This 3/8" diameter rope gasket is designed for compatible Drolet applications specifying a 3/8" fiberglass rope gasket. Always verify the required gasket diameter for your specific stove and gasket location before ordering.

The flexible fiberglass construction provides the compression needed to create a proper seal between compatible stove components. The graphite-impregnated finish helps reduce sticking while providing the traditional dark appearance commonly used on replacement wood stove gasket.

Important Fitment Note:
Drolet stoves use multiple gasket diameters and gasket styles depending on the stove model and gasket location. Do not assume that every gasket on a Drolet stove is 3/8".

This kit contains approximately 3/8" diameter rope gasket. Before ordering, check your Drolet owner's manual or parts information and compare the diameter and style of your existing gasket with the 3/8" gasket supplied in this kit.

If your Drolet stove requires a different diameter, Total Hearth also offers additional rope gasket sizes for compatible applications.

Why Is Proper Stove Gasketing Important?
Fiberglass rope gasket creates a compressible seal between mating stove components. Depending on the application, this may include a stove door, glass assembly, access panel, or another removable component.

Over time, repeated heating, cooling, and compression can cause fiberglass gasket material to flatten, harden, fray, or lose its original shape. A properly fitted replacement gasket helps reduce unwanted air leakage and restore the intended seal.

When Should Stove Gasket Be Replaced?
Consider replacing the gasket if you notice:
• Flattened or excessively compressed gasket material
• Frayed or unraveling fiberglass
• Hardened or brittle gasket sections
• Missing or damaged gasket material
• Gasket pulling away from the mounting channel
• Visible gaps around the sealed component
• Unwanted air leakage
• Difficulty maintaining a consistent seal

Installation Tips:
• Allow the stove to cool completely before beginning installation
• Note the location and routing of the original gasket before removal
• Carefully remove the old gasket from the gasket channel
• Remove old adhesive, loose fibers, soot, dirt, and debris from the channel
• Test-fit the new 3/8" rope gasket before applying adhesive
• Apply the included gasket adhesive according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions
• Press the gasket evenly into the channel without excessively stretching it
• Work gradually around corners and curves
• Trim the gasket to the required finished length
• Butt the gasket ends together neatly without overlapping them
• Allow the adhesive to cure according to the instructions before operating the stove

Important – Do Not Stretch Rope Gasket:
Avoid stretching the rope gasket during installation. Stretching can reduce the effective diameter of the gasket and may prevent it from providing the proper compression once installed.

Check the Seal After Installation:
After installation and proper adhesive curing, verify that the repaired door or component closes and operates correctly and that the gasket makes consistent contact with the mating surface.

For applicable stove door gasket installations, a simple paper test can help identify areas with inadequate gasket compression. Close the door on a strip of paper at several points around the perimeter. There should be noticeable resistance when attempting to pull the paper free.

Important Installation Note:
Always follow the instructions provided for your specific Drolet stove when replacing gasket material. The correct gasket diameter, density, location, and compression are important to proper stove operation.

Do not substitute 3/8" gasket for a different factory-specified gasket size simply because it fits into the gasket channel. Verify the required size before installation.
