The Importance of Wick Size
Using the correct wick size is critical for proper lamp operation. This wick measures 1 5/8" wide, which is the exact width needed for #8 Kosmos burners. If you have a remnant of the old wick from your burner, you can simply measure its width to confirm this is the correct size. The width must match your burner's wick channel for proper fit and safe operation.
Length Matters Too
The 7 1/2" length of this wick is carefully chosen to ensure it reaches the fuel in your oil font. As the saying goes, a little too much is a lot better than not enough. If your wick cannot reach the fuel in your oil font, it will dry out and extinguish itself. This 7 1/2" length provides plenty of wick material to reach the fuel while allowing for trimming as the wick is used.
How to Measure Your Wick Channel
If you're not sure about the size or style of your burner, you may need to measure the wick channel. The wick channel is the slot in the burner where the wick sits. Measure the width of this channel—it should be approximately 1 5/8" for #8 Kosmos burners. If your measurement matches, this is the correct wick for your lamp.
American Made Quality
This lamp wick is made in the USA with high-quality 100% cotton. American-made wicks are superior to imported alternatives because they feature consistent quality control, pure cotton without fillers or additives, proper weaving for optimal fuel absorption, and reliable performance you can count on. When you choose American-made wicks, you're choosing quality that shows in every burn.
100% Cotton for Clean Burning
Pure cotton is the ideal material for oil lamp wicks because it absorbs fuel efficiently, burns cleanly with minimal smoke, doesn't produce chemical odors, and lasts longer than synthetic materials. This 100% cotton wick ensures your #8 Kosmos lamp burns brightly and cleanly, providing the superior light output that Kosmos lamps are famous for.
Essential Replacement Part
Lamp wicks are consumable items that need periodic replacement. Over time, wicks become charred, clogged with carbon deposits, or too short to function properly. Having replacement wicks on hand ensures your #8 Kosmos lamp is always ready to provide light when you need it. Stock up so you're never without a working wick.
