Essential Replacement Outer Wick Tube for Aladdin Model 23 Burners
The Aladdin Brass Outer Wick Tube #N238B is a critical replacement component for Aladdin Model 23 burners. This solid brass tube fits inside the burner body and surrounds the round wick and inner wick tube, creating the proper air passages that make Aladdin lamps produce their brilliant white light. When your outer wick tube becomes damaged or worn, this genuine replacement restores your burner to proper working condition.
What is the Outer Wick Tube?
The outer wick tube is the removable round piece that fits inside your Aladdin burner body. It surrounds both the round wick and the inner wick tube, creating the critical air passages between these components. These air passages are precisely engineered to preheat incoming air before it reaches the mantle, which is essential for the bright, white light Aladdin lamps are famous for.

Model 23 Compatibility
This outer wick tube is designed specifically for Aladdin Model 23 burners, which were used in both kerosene lamps and kerosene refrigerators. The Model 23 burner has unique dimensions and specifications, so it's critical to use the correct outer wick tube. This part will not fit other Aladdin burner models - each model requires its own specific outer wick tube.
Why Outer Wick Tubes Need Replacement
Outer wick tubes can become damaged due to several factors including corrosion from kerosene exposure, physical damage during cleaning or maintenance, warping from heat stress, or general wear from years of use. A damaged outer wick tube disrupts the critical air passages, resulting in poor light output, smoking, or complete burner failure. Replacing a damaged tube is essential for restoring proper lamp operation.
Solid Brass Durability
Crafted from solid brass throughout, this outer wick tube offers superior durability and corrosion resistance compared to plated alternatives. Brass withstands the heat and chemical exposure inherent in kerosene lamp operation, maintaining its structural integrity and precise dimensions even after years of use.
Easy Replacement
The outer wick tube is designed to be removable for easy replacement. When you need to replace a damaged tube, simply disassemble your burner following standard procedures, remove the old outer wick tube, and install this new replacement. The precision manufacturing ensures proper fit and function.

Critical Air Passage Component
The outer wick tube isn't just a simple sleeve - it's a precision-engineered component that creates the exact air passages needed for proper Aladdin burner operation. The space between the outer wick tube and inner wick tube allows air to flow upward, preheating before it reaches the mantle. This preheated air is what enables the mantle to glow brilliantly white, producing light equivalent to a 60-watt electric bulb.

As an official Aladdin replacement part, this outer wick tube is manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original component in your burner. The precise dimensions, proper materials, and quality construction ensure perfect fit and reliable performance that keeps your Model 23 burner operating at peak efficiency.
