Replacement Ceramic Glass for Caddy Alterna II Pellet Furnace

Overview:

Restore the viewing area of your Caddy Alterna II with replacement ceramic glass custom cut to the specified 17 7/8" x 5" dimensions. This 3/16" thick ceramic glass features a subtle amber tint and is designed to withstand temperatures up to 1250°F.

Ceramic glass is suited for the high-temperature environment found in wood, coal, and pellet-burning appliances. It is manufactured to resist thermal shock from extreme temperature changes and can withstand up to three times the heat of tempered glass.

Key Features:

• Custom cut for the Caddy Alterna II
• Measures 17 7/8" wide x 5" high
• 3/16" ceramic glass thickness
• Withstands temperatures up to 1250°F
• Subtle amber tint
• Designed to resist thermal shock and high-temperature exposure

Important Information:

Proper clearance and installation are essential when replacing stove glass. Allow at least 1/8" of room for thermal expansion. Without adequate clearance, expanding glass or mounting components may place excessive pressure on the panel and cause breakage.

Mounting screws and hardware also expand when heated. Do not over-tighten glass-retaining hardware during installation.

Ceramic glass should never be substituted for tempered glass in a fireplace door unless the appliance or door is specifically approved for ceramic glass. Do not install ceramic glass in a factory-built or prefab fireplace unless the unit is heater rated and the manufacturer's instructions permit its use.

FAQs:

Q: What are the glass dimensions?
A: The panel measures 17 7/8" wide by 5" high and is 3/16" thick.

Q: Should the mounting hardware be tightened firmly against the glass?
A: No. Do not over-tighten the mounting hardware because both the glass and metal components need room for thermal expansion.

Q: Can I use this ceramic glass to replace tempered fireplace-door glass?
A: Not unless the appliance or door is specifically approved for ceramic glass. Always follow the appliance manufacturer's requirements.
