Kerosene Wick MfrPartNo AW4E

Sometimes kero heater wicks can be a problem, maybe not quite the right fit for your model, etc. This one fit and worked very well. Kept me warm all last winter! A+++

This wick is a perfect fit for the 10KBTU radiant heaters made by Sengoku under model numbers CTN-110 and HM-110 etc.. They are a higher quality wick than the one that comes with the heaters, and I recommend that it be installed before suffering with the factory wick. These are also the same wicks sold by the famous kerosene wick expert Miles. A good buy! Update: 3/6/2013 This wick does not have the line at the same place as the factory wick, it is higher. I thought this was a mistake, but I believe it is because this wick brings up more kerosene than the factory wick so it has to be set what seems to be 1/4" lower. I placed this wick at the same height as the factory wick, and there was no way to adjust the heat properly. Next time, I will trust the line on the product.

Having a replacement wick is important, as older ones may fail either due to poor fuel or other situation, like age. This wick is easy to put on and use once the old one is removed. After replacement, allow about an hour or more for fuel to wick up the fabric before lighting, or you might just burn the fabric instead. Simple and easy using ordinary tools, a rag for simple wiping, and rubber gloves to keep your hands clean.

Works well

Perfect Fit. Perfect flame. I’ve used about 8-9 of these wicks, primarily I can’t find the OEM replacement. They work well, but do not last nearly as long as the original. Using 4 of these wicks same burners, the original last the full burning season as compared to three weeks with this replacement. The wick degraded at top fiberglass started separating and fibers detaching from the sewn in band. Once I see wick material starting to detach. It is no longer safe. I keep one extra handy to replace as necessary. Fully soak the wick after installing and reassembling. They burn great, just don’t last.

nice price

Many thanks to the other reviewers for saying this was the good red banded wick! The wick pictured (thin with the felt bottom) is trash, but the one that arrived was the 'American Wick AW-4E". Heavy red band and thick cotton wick on the bottom. I get a perfect burn in my Heatmate HMN-110 with this heavy wick. Maybe its luck-of-the-draw on which one is sent at any given time because it seems some have gotten the el-cheapo one in the picture.

It does what it’s supposed to do.
