What does this tape do?

It covers the sealing bar and gives it a heat-resistant surface to press the bag against. A worn or scorched tape is a common cause of weak or patchy seals.

How do I know it fits my Vacmaster?

Match the part number 979420 to your sealer's manual or parts list. Sealers with a different bar design take a different tape.

How often does it need replacing?

It depends on how much you seal. Heavy users replace it more often, and a tape that has bubbled, torn or scorched should be changed.

Will new tape fix a sealer that won't seal?

Only if the tape is the cause. If the element does not heat or the bags are the wrong type, new tape will not help.

Is it a genuine Vacmaster part?

It is listed as a compatible part for Vacmaster sealers rather than a branded original, so check the fit against your model.
