This is a table of the dimensions of kosmos burner parts. For European lamps ONLY. The metric threading will NOT fit lamps made in the USA.The inside diameter of the collar is the side-to-opposite-side distance of the threaded portion on your lamp (called a collar). The bottom o.d. of the burner is the same since it threads into that collar opening. If your lamp is missing a collar, select a collar that will fit over and conceal the neck of the oil font. Normally these are secured by an adhesive that dries hard such as plaster of Paris, acrylic caulk, tile grout, or similar.
Note that the collar for the #12 burner and #14 burner are identical. The #12 is a smaller burner with a smaller wick, but has the same size threaded bottom as the #14 burner.~~~RETURN POLICY

  • Handmade French ball shade for Kosmos #6, #8, or #10 burner: Price: $25
  • Solid brass adapter to use the above shade on a Komsos #6 burner: Price: $10.50
    NOTE: The adapter shade ring rests on the curved shoulder of the #6 burner. You will need
    to secure it in a horizontal position to prevent the shade from wobbling on the burner.
    You may do this by tacking it in place with clear Epoxy or with solder.
    Adapter i.d, is 1-5/8"; fitter i.d. is 2.0"
