Product Information
Villager Duo and Villager Boiler Stove Door Rope Seal
The Villager Duo and Villager Boiler Stove Door Rope Seal is a replacement part for the door seal on specific stove models. It comes with a silicone rope adhesive, tape, and rope seal. The rope seal is made of high-quality materials that can withstand high temperatures.
Product Usage Instructions
- Read the instructions carefully before replacing the stove door rope seal. Do not install while the stove is hot or in use. Observe safe working practices.
- Open the door and lift it up so that it is clear of its hinges. Lay the door face down onto a soft surface.
- Take note of the layout of the old rope, then remove it from the door. Use a wire brush or similar to remove the old adhesive or any flaky paint.
- Lay the length of rope along the channel in the door where it will sit (ensuring that it is not stretched) and mark where you will need to cut the rope so that the ends will meet and overlap.
- Cut a strip of the included adhesive tape approximately 65mm long and remove the protective backing. Wrap this tightly around the rope where it will be cut, this is to help prevent the rope ends from fraying. Cut through both the tape and rope.
- Where rope adhesive has not been supplied, simply press the rope firmly back into place as reverse of step 3. Otherwise, apply a 5-10mm bead of silicone to rope channel. Press rope firmly into place.
- Allow at least 12 hours for the adhesive to cure before re-fitting the stove door back onto the stove body. Allow extra cure time if extra silicone is applied. Typical cure rate is 3-5mm depth per 24 hours.
- Close the door and allow a further 12 hours before relighting the stove.
- You should periodically check the fire door rope seal for signs of wear and tear.
