KOEHRING Kerosene Heater Wicks
Koehring heaters were also sold under the "Comfort Glow" label, and
often the model numbers for "Comfort Glow" were affixed to Koehring
brand heaters. If you do not find your exact model number
listed below, please look at the page for
Comfort Glow heaters.

Panasonic made heaters using
two-part wicks #15 and #16 which were sold under an amazing variety
of name brands, including Koehring, Comfort Glow, Sears, Handy
Master, etc. The model numbers applied to those heaters were
confusing and often the wrong model number applied to a heater,
resulting in a heater being marked as using wick #16 when it fact it
requires wick #15. Not my fault! It is best to measure
the central air pillar around which the wick fits: If about
3", order wick #16; if about 3 1/2", order wick #15. See also the model numbers for
Comfort Glow if not listed below - they crossed those numbers, too. |

I can supply a copy of an owner's
manual for a Koehring KR9, which uses wick #16. Those who need
more information on the two-piece wicks #15 and #16 may be
interested. The instructions and owner's manual say to use a "wick
guide" to ensure the wick gap is even all around. Wick guides
have not been available for decades, but are a simple straight wire
rod 7/64" in diameter. A 7/64" drill bit shank would work
well. |

Koehring heaters which require wicks #15 & #16: These are a two part
wick, an upper portion which is fiberglass and has the top burning
surface, and a lower cotton section to which is attached the wick
raising mechanism. The two-piece wick was designed so that the
lower section could be used over and over again, so attaching a
new top section (#16T) was a design feature of this wick. To keep
the lower section of the wick in top condition, the heater should
always be stored "dry," and the lower section should be soaked in
91%+ alcohol once a year or so. Pure alcohol is available in
most hardware stores, being sold as Shellac Thinner. The alcohol
will absorb any kerosene residue and water, and thus restore the
cotton filaments to the full capillary action needed to ensure
proper "wicking" action to the upper portion of the wick. The wick
must then be thoroughly dried by evaporation, the wick raising
mechanism lightly oiled, and it is ready to use again or store dry
in a freezer bag until needed. The entire two part wick is
often not available - get them while you can!
