Clear, consistent control starts with a tight door seal. This Clearview Pioneer 400 Door Rope Kit restores the airtight gasket around your stove door so you get steadier burn rates, easier lighting, and cleaner glass. The soft-weave, fire-proof fibreglass rope beds neatly into the channel to stop unwanted air leaks, while the included high-temperature adhesive bonds it securely. A short length of sealing tape is supplied to cap the rope ends cleanly and prevent fraying during fitting. If your Pioneer 400 is racing even with the air closed, the flames look wild, or you can see smoke staining around the door, it’s time to replace the rope.
✅ Compatible with: Clearview Pioneer 400 (door seal)
• Heat-resistant fibreglass door rope (cut-to-fit length for one door)
• High-temperature rope adhesive (for secure, long-lasting bond)
• Sealing tape to finish rope ends and stop fraying
Why replace the rope seal?
• Restores an airtight door closure for precise combustion control
• Prevents over-firing caused by uncontrolled secondary air leaks
• Reduces smoke spillage and improves flame picture through the glass
• Helps maintain efficiency and protects internal parts from excessive heat
Fitting notes (quick guide)
-
Remove the old rope and scrape out any remaining cement/adhesive. Vacuum the channel clean.
-
Dry-lay the new rope around the channel without stretching it; mark and cut to length.
-
Tape the rope ends to prevent fraying, then apply a thin, even bead of adhesive in the channel.
-
Press the rope in firmly all the way round, join the ends neatly, and close the door for a couple of hours to set.
-
Do a paper-strip test: close the door on a slip of paper—mild resistance all around means a good seal (adjust latch tension if needed).

Maintenance tips
Check the seal annually (or sooner if the stove is used daily). Replace when flattened, glossy/hard, or visibly frayed, or if the door fails the paper test. This kit is specifically for the door rope; the glass edge seal (if fitted) is a separate item. Using genuine-quality fibreglass rope and high-temp adhesive keeps your Pioneer 400 controllable, efficient, and safe throughout the heating season.
