Compatibility
This kit is for Leyden wood stoves with a warped or bent bypass rod. Because the rod is not
visible inside the firebox, the only way to determine if the rod is warped is the tensioner bolt. If
the bypass does not stay shut, and the tensioner bolt is screwed fully in*, the bypass rod is likely
warped and will need to be replaced.
This kit contains an improved bypass rod made of stainless steel. This improvement is in all
Leydens manufactured after 2/16/2007 (Rev 002). If you are uncertain if the bypass rod is
stainless-steel, remove the bypass handle and check the rod. If it is stainless-steel a magnet
will not stick to the rod.
The tensioner bolt should be 1” long to provide the necessary adjustment on the bypass rod
assembly. If the installed bolt is too short, replace it with an included 1” bolt and test bypass
adjustment. NOTE: The bypass rod may be warped by the tensioner if this bolt is over-tightened
repeatedly (the tensioner deflects the rod until it starts to bend). When adjusting the tensioner
bolt, tighten it only enough to keep the bypass shut without excessive effort on the bypass
handle.
