Sourcing 1/2" flat rope gasket for ash pan or cover?

[Don2222]

Hello

Breckwells, Pelpros, Hudson River, Magnum and other stoves all have ash pans that need a good seal so the infamous #2 status light does not flash.

My supplier has run out of the standard whit 1/2" wide rope gasket that I use with RTV for ash pan gaskets. It worked well and was thick enough to seal well. See left over scrap on left in pic below. So I got some graphite impregnated flat self stick but I find it is so thin, I have to double up many times. See middle gasket in pic below. I just got some Enviro graphite impregnated flat self stick rope gasket. It looks like it will do the job well but it is $4 per foot retail.

Anyone know of a good place to get some?

I bought a kit at Menards that came with 6 feet of gasket and some adhesive. I think it was $10 or so.

It does not say that it is flat?

I do not want 1/2" round

You said "Rope" and "Flat" in your thread title. Rope is Round, Flat is also considered "Tape".

Most hardware stores and Hearth shops have 1/2" and 5/8" flat/tape gasket material.

Yes thanks Dexter, Some of the Tape gasket like the one in the middle of my pic is just too thin. I am looking for 1/2" wide and about 1/8" thick. I know I am kinda fussy but that white stuff I had just worked great!

Hello

Well, so far I really like the Enviro Flat ash pan gasket, it is meatier than the other thin flat gasket.
Noone sells Meeco around here so I will try and get that when I have a chance.

Not flat

Hello

Finally found some good flat gasket that I really like. No tape so RTV is needed, but nice and spongy and thick. It will work really well for those Magnum Baby Countryside Ash doors!

See it on an old Whitfield WP2
