Product Description

Black Stove Rope 8mm – Medium Density

Model: RB8

Replace a worn or damaged stove door seal with our 8mm black stove rope. Its medium-density construction provides the ideal balance of firmness and flexibility. Therefore, it keeps its shape well while creating a secure seal around a compatible stove door or stove glass.

Unlike very soft rope, medium-density stove rope has more substance and does not stretch as easily during installation. As a result, you can fit it more accurately into the stove’s rope channel.

We sell this rope by the metre. Simply enter the number of metres you need as the order quantity, and we will cut it as one continuous length whenever possible.

Why Choose Medium-Density Stove Rope?

Soft stove rope can stretch while you fit it. Consequently, you may use too little rope and create an uneven seal. In contrast, medium-density rope offers greater firmness and holds its original shape more effectively.

This extra stability makes the rope easier to measure, cut and press into the channel. Furthermore, it provides a neat, professional finish when you install it correctly.

Adhesive Required

You will normally need a suitable high-temperature adhesive to secure the rope. Therefore, we recommend purchasing our REEDS 50ml Stove Rope Adhesive with your replacement rope.

How to Install 8mm Stove Rope

1. First, make sure the stove is completely cold and out of use.
2. Remove the old rope and scrape away the remaining adhesive.
3. Next, clean the rope channel to remove dust, grease and loose material.
4. Measure the old rope or channel and confirm that 8mm is the correct size.
5. Apply a thin, even bead of specialist stove rope adhesive to the channel.
6. Then, press the new rope firmly into place without stretching it.
7. Cut the rope to length and bring the two ends together neatly.
8. Secure the ends with the supplied heat-resistant tape where required.
9. Finally, allow the adhesive to cure fully before using the stove.

Always follow the instructions supplied with your stove and adhesive. If you are unsure which rope size you need, contact the SNH Tradecentre team before ordering.

How Much Stove Rope Should I Order?

Measure the full distance around the rope channel and allow a small amount for trimming. For example, if you need three metres, select a quantity of three. We will then supply a three-metre continuous length whenever possible.
