RUTLAND Grapho-Glas Replacement Stove Gaskets are engineered to provide superior sealing, protection, and longevity when compared to other materials. The graphite-impregnated fiberglass resists creosote and soot adhesion that, in turn, provides better abrasion resistance. The braiding of the gasket and the staying power of RUTLAND adhesive cements combine to make sure this gasket lasts much longer without failing or coming off.All of this makes Grapho-Glas Gaskets the best choice for replacing your stove's gasket. So good, in fact, that many stove manufacturers use Grapho-Glas as standard equipment on their stoves and fireplaces.
