Kosmos Chimney Sizing Information

(*Note)  Kosmos chimneys

Kosmos lamps have been made by literally hundreds of different manufacturers in the past 150 years.  Any ''standards'' are hypothetical.  The brass chimney fingers are adjusted to fit the chimney. 10''' Kosmos chimneys: There are currently no 10''' chimneys available to me from normal business channels but I found an original 10''' Sans Rival to copy precisely. These new chimneys are magnificent!

~~~

"Goes in flat, comes out round"... by a process of 'conical curling' ... shows the triangular air port allowing air to centre of flame. Also shows direct gear drive to the wick.] Photo by Alex Marrack

Sizes of Kosmos Lamp Wicks - More information, please click here.

The wick in Kosmos lamps is flat and curled round by the gearing (shown above). The wick must fit inside the circumference of the outer wick tube.  Kosmos wicks are sold by their width, but determining that width when there is no fragment of a wick left to measure can be challenging.  Measuring the diameter and referring to the chart below is one relatively easy way to select the proper fitting wick, or if a wick is present (photo above), measure the width of the wick.

~~~

I have listed below the inside diameter of the top of the outside wick tube for various Kosmos lamps I own, shown below the line number and width in inches.  Please note there were hundreds of manufacturers, so dimensions may well vary, in some cases vary considerably

FEEDING A THICK WICK IN A KOSMOS BURNER

Feeding a thick wick from the bottom of a 20''' Matador burner can be a challenge.  Making a tape extension as shown at right makes the process much easier.  The tape is pushed up through the wick gap, then the wick gently pulled up through the gearing.
