260347 - Miller 260347 Flame Retardant Foam Gasket Strip - 50ft Roll

Miller 260347 Flame Retardant Foam Gasket Overview

The Miller 260347 is a specialized replacement gasket designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial welding environments. As a genuine OEM part manufactured by Miller Electric, this foam gasket is engineered to provide a reliable seal for welding power sources, wire feeders, and other auxiliary equipment. The primary function of this component is to maintain the integrity of the machine's enclosure, preventing the ingress of shop dust, metal particulates, and moisture that can compromise sensitive internal electronics. By maintaining a proper seal, this gasket helps extend the operational lifespan of your welding assets and reduces the frequency of internal cleaning and maintenance cycles.

One of the defining characteristics of the Miller 260347 is its flame-retardant composition. In a welding shop, where sparks, spatter, and high temperatures are commonplace, using standard foam materials can pose a safety risk. This gasket is formulated to resist ignition and inhibit flame spread, adding an extra layer of safety to the equipment it seals. The material is a compressible foam that conforms to irregularities in sheet metal panels, ensuring a tight fit even on surfaces that may have slight deformations or manufacturing tolerances. This compressibility also serves a secondary function as a vibration dampener, reducing the transmission of mechanical noise and resonance between chassis components.

Supplied in a substantial 50-foot roll, this product offers excellent value for maintenance departments and repair technicians. The continuous length allows users to cut the exact amount required for any specific application, minimizing waste. With a width of 0.5 inches and a thickness of 0.25 inches, it is sized to fit standard flange widths found on many Miller machines. Whether you are refurbishing an older welder or performing routine preventative maintenance, replacing worn or degraded seals with the Miller 260347 ensures your equipment remains compliant with factory specifications and protected against the harsh industrial environment.

Installation is straightforward, requiring only simple cutting tools to trim the gasket to length. The foam's flexibility allows it to be routed around corners and curves without kinking or losing adhesion properties (if adhesive backing is applied, or held by compression). For MRO professionals, keeping a roll of this flame-retardant gasket in stock ensures that any time a machine cover is removed for service, the seal can be refreshed to guarantee optimal performance upon reassembly.
