Product Information
Full details
The Coleman InstaClip #21 Mantles are essential replacement parts for outdoor enthusiasts who rely on liquid fuel or propane lanterns for camping and emergency lighting. These mantles provide superior, bright illumination through a reliable wire attachment system, though users must handle them with extreme care as the mesh is fragile and susceptible to damage before it is burned in.

FAQs
Do I need to tie these on?
No, the InstaClip system uses a wire attachment mechanism that clips directly onto the burner.
Can I touch the mantle after burning it?
No, the mantle becomes extremely fragile after the first burn and will likely crumble if touched.
How do I know if this fits my lantern?
Check the model number on your lantern's base or collar; if it is listed in the 200, 285, 290, or 5100 series, it is compatible.
Why does the mantle turn white?
The white color is the result of the fabric burning off, leaving behind a ceramic-like mesh that glows when heated.
Should I keep a spare mantle?
Yes, it is highly recommended to carry spare mantles as they can be damaged during transport.
Troubleshooting
Mantle has a hole after initial burn-in
Small holes are common, but if the hole is large, replace it to prevent heat damage to the lantern's glass globe.
Lantern is dim despite new mantle
Check your fuel levels or pressure. Ensure the mantle is seated correctly on the burner and not blocking the gas path.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply pinch the wire clip ends together and slide the mantle over the burner tube until it locks into place.
Compatibility:
This mantle fits the following Coleman lantern models: 200, 201, 214, 220, 275, 282, 285, 286, 288, 290, 295, and various models in the 5100 and 9900 series.
Care Instructions:
- Always avoid touching the mantle with your fingers once it has been burned, as the oils can cause uneven heating.
- Transport lanterns carefully, as a burned-in mantle is very brittle and can shatter if the lantern is bumped or dropped.
- Keep a spare pack in your gear box as a precaution against accidental breakage.
