Replacement Ceramic Glass for Appalachian Gemini XLB & 32-BW-1983

Overview:

Replace damaged or broken stove glass with this custom-cut ceramic replacement glass for the Appalachian Gemini XLB and Appalachian 32-BW-1983. The panel measures 8 1/2" wide by 5 1/4" high and is 3/16" thick, with a subtle amber tint.

Designed for high-temperature stove applications, this ceramic glass withstands temperatures up to 1250° and is manufactured to resist thermal shock caused by extreme temperature changes. Ceramic glass can withstand up to three times the heat of tempered glass, making it suitable for applications where flames may periodically contact the glass.

Proper fit and installation are essential. The replacement panel should have at least 1/8" of clearance for thermal expansion, and mounting hardware should not be overtightened.

Key Features:

• Custom-cut ceramic replacement glass for confirmed Appalachian stove models
• Measures 8 1/2" wide x 5 1/4" high x 3/16" thick
• Withstands temperatures up to 1250°
• Subtle amber tint
• Manufactured to resist thermal shock from extreme temperature changes
• Suitable for high-temperature stove applications where flames may periodically contact the glass

Important Information:

Ceramic stove glass requires room to expand as temperatures rise. Maintain at least 1/8" of clearance for thermal expansion. Metal screws, clips, and other mounting hardware also expand when heated, so hardware should not be overtightened against the glass.

Do not substitute ceramic glass for tempered glass in a fireplace door unless the appliance or door is specifically approved for ceramic glass. Ceramic glass should never be installed in a factory-built or prefab fireplace unless the unit is heater-rated and the manufacturer permits this type of replacement glass. Always consult the appliance owner's manual before replacing the original glass type.

FAQs:

Q: Can flames come into contact with this glass?
A: The supplied product information states that flames may periodically contact the glass and that the ceramic material is manufactured to resist thermal shock from extreme temperature changes.

Q: How much expansion clearance does the glass need?
A: Allow at least 1/8" of room for thermal expansion.

Q: Should the glass mounting hardware be tightened firmly?
A: Mounting hardware should be secure but not overtightened. Metal hardware expands when heated, and excessive pressure can contribute to glass breakage.

Q: Can I use this ceramic glass to replace tempered fireplace-door glass?
A: Not unless the fireplace or door is specifically approved for ceramic glass. Verify the required glass type in the appliance owner's manual before installation.

Fit / Measuring / Safety Notes:

• Confirm your stove model before ordering.
• Verify the required glass dimensions against the existing panel, appliance documentation, or both.
• Allow at least 1/8" of clearance for thermal expansion.
• Do not force an oversized panel into the opening.
• Do not overtighten screws, clips, or other glass-retaining hardware.
• Verify that gaskets and retaining components are positioned correctly before operating the stove.
• Do not replace tempered fireplace-door glass with ceramic glass unless the appliance manufacturer specifically approves ceramic glass for that application.
• Do not install ceramic glass in a factory-built or prefab fireplace unless the unit is heater-rated and approved for this type of glass.
• Consult the appliance owner's manual for installation and glass-type requirements.
