Measuring Glass Hurricane Sconce
- When selecting replacement hurricanes: first determine base diameter, known as the fitter. Bottom diameter is measured outside edge to outside edge. Most sconces have a 1-5/8″ fitter size.
- Height is a matter of personal taste. It should be proportional to lamp, sconce or candlestick.
- If having trouble getting an accurate diameter. Test by cutting a ring to needed diameter. Slip down over burner to check fit.
