The safest way to cross-reference a kerosene heater wick is to match the heater’s exact model and the replacement wick number, then verify the original wick’s carrier and dimensions. The five options below cover two common cross-reference groups: AW-500 and 32225. The AW-500 choices are best for selected Perfection and Valor heaters; the 32225 choices suit listed Dyna-GLO, DuraHeat, Kero World, and related models. Check your heater manual and existing wick before ordering, especially for vintage heaters.
| Wick type | Best suited for | Pack size |
|---|---|---|
| Ganivsor AW-500 | Selected Perfection and Valor models; several cross-references listed | 1 |
| 32225 replacement wick | Listed Dyna-GLO, DuraHeat, Kero World, and related heaters | 1 |
| 32225 replacement wicks | Owners who want a two-wick pack for compatible models | 2 |
| AAAQQ AW-500 | AW-500 applications and selected Perfection or Valor models | Not specified |
| 32225 replacement wicks | Compatible models where keeping multiple spare wicks is useful | 4 |
Ganivsor AW-500 Kerosene Heater Wick
This single AW-500 replacement wick is cross-referenced with American Wick AW-500, Perfection “500” Wick, and Kero World 27540. The listed applications include numerous Perfection models, such as 0525M, 110, 120, 130, 150, 210, 510, 525, 630, 700, 730, 750G, 810, and 822. The product also names selected Valor models, including 525 and 555.
Best for: Owners of a listed Perfection or Valor heater who have confirmed that the heater uses the AW-500 cross-reference. It was selected because its listing provides a broad model reference and explicitly calls for checking the original wick carrier, diameter, and heater model.
Check before ordering: The listing cautions that model verification is required for vintage equipment. Do not rely on a similar-looking heater name alone; compare the existing wick and carrier with the replacement requirements.
32225 Wick For Kero World And DuraHeat
This 32225 wick listing names Kero World KW-24C, DuraHeat DH-2300, Dyna-GLO CV-2300 and RMC-95C, Envirotemp CV-2300, and Keroheat CV-2300. Its detailed application list also includes several Dyna-GLO RMC-95C and WK95C variations, DuraHeat DH2300 through DH2304 and DH2400 series, Kero World KC2400 series and KW-24 variants, and selected Redstone models.
Best for: Buyers who want a single replacement wick and can match their heater to one of the listed 32225 applications. The listing describes a cotton construction and cross-weave intended to promote fuel absorption.
Check before ordering: The model lists contain many similar-looking suffixes. Confirm the full model code on the heater rather than assuming that every unit in a product family takes the same wick.
32225 Kerosene Heater Wick Two-Pack
This two-pack is listed for Kero World KW-24C, Keroheat CV-2300, Envirotemp CV-2300, DuraHeat DH-2300, and Dyna-GLO CV-2300 and RMC-95C heaters. Its described materials include cotton and glass fiber, and the listing says the wick is designed to absorb kerosene for combustion.
Best for: Owners who have confirmed a 32225-compatible heater and prefer to have a second replacement available. It was selected as a multi-pack option within the same cross-reference family as the single-wick and four-pack choices.
Check before ordering: The stated compatibility is not universal across all kerosene heaters. Verify your precise model and wick number; a two-pack does not resolve a mismatch in wick size or carrier design.
AAAQQ AW-500 Replacement Wick
This AW-500 wick is listed for American Wick AW-500 and selected Perfection and Valor heaters. Named models include Perfection 0525M, 730, 735, and 750G, as well as Valor 525 and 555. The listing describes a cotton-and-linen wick with four cotton strips intended to absorb fuel.
Best for: Owners who have identified an AW-500 requirement and want an option whose listing specifically names several Perfection and Valor models. It offers an alternative to the other AW-500 listing in this guide.
Check before ordering: The product description refers to multiple Perfection models without listing every model number. Confirm your exact heater and original wick specification instead of treating the phrase “multiple” as proof of fit.
32225 Kerosene Heater Wick Four-Pack
This four-pack is listed for Dyna-GLO RMC-95C and related 95C models, DuraHeat DH2300–DH2304 and DH2400 series, Envirotemp RMC-95C and 93043, Kero World KC2400–KC2404B and KW-24 variants, and selected Redstone WK95C models. The listing identifies the wicks as 32225 replacements for related model references including KW-24 and KW-24C, DH-2300, CV-2300, and RMC-95C.
Best for: Owners who have verified a compatible 32225 model and want several replacement wicks on hand. It was selected because its listing provides broad model coverage and clearly states a four-piece pack.
Check before ordering: The listing directs buyers to verify the heater model and follow the heater manual for replacement steps. Do not use the pack size as a reason to buy before confirming fit.
Buying Guide: How To Cross-Reference A Kerosene Wick
Where can you find the correct wick number?
Start with the heater’s owner’s manual, model label, or parts list. Look for the manufacturer’s replacement wick number, not just the heater’s brand. If the manual is unavailable, record the complete model number from the appliance and inspect the wick currently installed. A replacement listing’s cross-reference is useful only when its named model and wick specification match your heater.
Model suffixes matter. Two heaters from the same product family may have different wick requirements. Record letters and numbers exactly, including characters after a dash or the main model number. If the model label is damaged or the heater is vintage, compare the carrier and wick dimensions and seek reliable parts documentation before buying.
What is the difference between AW-500 and 32225?
AW-500 and 32225 are separate wick cross-reference groups in these listings. The AW-500 products name selected Perfection and Valor heaters and reference American Wick AW-500. The 32225 products list selected Dyna-GLO, DuraHeat, Kero World, Envirotemp, Keroheat, and Redstone heaters. Do not substitute one group for the other based on appearance or brand alone.
When a listing gives several equivalent or related part numbers, treat them as a cross-reference to verify—not as a guarantee that every heater from those brands is included. Match the exact model in the detailed application list wherever possible.
Should you choose a single wick or a multi-pack?
Choose a single wick when you need one replacement and want to avoid storing extra parts. A two- or four-pack may suit owners who want spares, but the quantity does not change compatibility. Check what is included in the package description and confirm that every wick is the required type before purchase.
Compare material descriptions only after confirming fit. The listings describe different constructions, including cotton, cotton and glass fiber, and cotton and linen. Those details can help distinguish product options, but they do not establish that a wick fits a particular heater.
What should you verify before replacing the wick?
- Confirm the heater’s full model number and the wick number specified for it.
- Check the original wick carrier and dimensions, especially for vintage heaters.
- Compare the replacement listing’s exact model references with your appliance.
- Follow the heater manufacturer’s manual for installation and operation.
- Do not force a wick that appears too wide, narrow, or otherwise mismatched.
If a replacement listing does not clearly identify your model, pause and verify through the manual or dependable parts information. Correct cross-referencing is more important than choosing by price, pack size, or a broad compatibility claim.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use an AW-500 wick in a 32225 heater?
Not based on these cross-references. AW-500 and 32225 are different wick groups. Use the wick number specified for your exact heater model.
Does a matching brand mean the wick will fit?
No. A manufacturer may sell heaters with different wick requirements. Match the complete heater model and the replacement wick number.
What does a kerosene wick cross-reference mean?
It indicates that a replacement wick is listed as an alternative for a named part number or heater model. Check the exact application details before relying on the cross-reference.
How do I check a vintage heater?
Use the heater’s model information and compare the original wick carrier and dimensions. The AW-500 listing specifically advises model verification for vintage equipment.
Is a four-pack more compatible than a single wick?
No. Pack size only indicates quantity. Compatibility depends on whether the 32225 wick matches the heater’s model and required replacement number.
