Gasket material for a firepot

[Lineman30]

Just wondering is there any alternates for firepot gaskets. Went to my dealer and he has nothing in stock. Had to order one. I'm trying to do some troubleshooting. I've read a few threads on here about other gasket material. Is there anything that might work.

is it a lytherm gasket? (sorta looks like felt-ish) if so, you can find it in sheets (like paper) at a plumbing supply place.

it is lytherm, but it is very thick, dense lytherm 1/4" approx
if you get std 1/8" stuff you prolly need 3 layers

It is a lythem gasket. Are you talking about a HVAC/plumbing store? Do they use it in plumbing or HVAC?

I'm not sure how they use it in plumbing/Hvac, but some of my customers who are in that field comment how they get the material from these places, yes HVAC/plumbing stores.

A simple search on Amazon yielded a life time supply of 14mm (a little over 1/2") thick lytherm! Take what you want and sell the rest to the next guy on the list! )

Looks like a visit to an automotive restoration guy or buddy might yield some.

I've done a little research and isn't there different types of lythem? Degree type etc?

Be absolutely certain that what you use has the proper temperature rating not all things labeled lytherm carry the same ratings.
