AmesburyTruth Foam-Tite 12079: dimensions vs 12025
12079 Foam-Tite kerf compression seal: source-scoped maker measurements, distinct from 12025. Manufacturer lists multiple orderable cut/reeled codes under this family.
Interpretation: Code-specific catalog data identifies a manufacturer series and selected dimensions; it is not a door/window fit or interchange certification.
Maker-listed code and dimensional evidence
| Printed family / order code | Catalog color where supported | Reach / projection (mm) | Backing / kerf width (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12079 | not assigned by approved source | 6.35 | 2.67 |
Maker profile highlights: reach 0.250 in (6.35 mm), bulb diameter 0.320 in (8.13 mm), kerf depth 0.220 in (5.59 mm), kerf width 0.105 in (2.67 mm). Different dimensional measurements do not prove that 12079 or 12025 fits a particular sash.

How to compare a removed sample
- Photograph the relaxed seal end-on with a ruler and orientation marker.
- Measure the actual retaining stem or backing and its receiver opening independently.
- Measure relaxed reach, bulb/body diameter or height and the closed-door gap without stretching or crushing the sample.
- Compare only the matching published fields and units; a similar profile or printed code does not establish fit.
- For replacement confirmation, use the exact door/window maker, model, configuration and primary part drawing.
Stop rule: Catalog dimensions and historical printed-code references are identification clues only. Do not infer OEM fit, universal interchange, current inventory, or a replacement/supersession from these pages.
For generic cross-sections, return to foam-clad kerf profile identification; for the other Foam-Tite codes, compare 12025, 12079, 12364, and 12416. These are not listed as substitutes.
