Important Information:

Proper installation clearance is essential. Allow at least 1/8" of room for thermal expansion around the replacement glass. Insufficient clearance can place stress on the glass as it heats and expands, potentially causing breakage.

Metal screws, retainers, and other mounting hardware also expand when heated. Do not overtighten mounting hardware against the ceramic glass.

Ceramic glass must not be used as an automatic substitute for tempered glass. Do not install this glass in a factory-built or prefab fireplace unless the appliance is specifically heater-rated and approved for ceramic glass. Always follow the appliance manufacturer's requirements for the correct glass type.

FAQs:

Q: What are the dimensions of the glass?
A: The glass measures 17 1/4" wide by 8 1/2" high and is 3/16" thick.

Q: How much room should be left for thermal expansion?
A: Allow at least 1/8" of room for thermal expansion. The glass should not be installed tightly against the surrounding frame or hardware.

Q: Should the mounting hardware be tightened firmly against the glass?
A: No. Avoid overtightening screws, clips, or other mounting hardware because metal components expand when exposed to high temperatures.

Q: Can this ceramic glass replace tempered fireplace glass?
A: Not automatically. Ceramic glass should only be installed where the appliance manufacturer specifies or approves it. Do not use it in a factory-built or prefab fireplace unless that appliance is heater-rated and approved for ceramic glass.

Fit / Measuring / Safety Notes:

• Confirm your stove model and compare the required glass dimensions before ordering or installation. The listed finished glass size is 17 1/4" x 8 1/2" x 3/16".
• Maintain at least 1/8" of clearance for thermal expansion. Do not force the glass into an opening or overtighten retainers, clips, screws, or other mounting hardware against it.
• Use only the type of glass specified for your appliance. Ceramic and tempered glass are not universally interchangeable. Consult the appliance owner's manual when the required glass type, installation method, or application is uncertain.
