Replacement Ceramic Side Glass for the Caddy Cobra Stove

Overview:

Replace the side glass in your Caddy Cobra stove with a custom-cut ceramic glass panel made for high-temperature stove applications. This replacement measures 9 1/4 inches wide by 2 15/16 inches high and is 3/16 inch thick.

The ceramic glass has a subtle amber tint and is manufactured to tolerate the rapid temperature changes associated with wood, coal, and pellet stove operation. Compatibility is confirmed only for the side glass position on the Caddy Cobra stove.

Key Features:

• Custom-cut ceramic replacement glass
• Confirmed for the Caddy Cobra side glass position
• Measures 9 1/4" wide by 2 15/16" high
• 3/16" glass thickness
• Subtle amber tint
• Listed to withstand temperatures up to 1250°F
• Manufactured to resist thermal shock from changing stove temperatures

Important Information:

Ceramic glass requires room to expand as the stove heats. Provide at least 1/8 inch of clearance for thermal expansion. Glass installed without sufficient expansion room may crack or break during use.

Mounting screws, clips, and other metal hardware also expand when exposed to heat. Secure the glass without overtightening the mounting hardware or placing concentrated pressure on the panel.

This ceramic glass must not be used as an automatic substitute for tempered glass in fireplace doors. Do not install ceramic glass in a factory-built or prefabricated fireplace unless the appliance is heater-rated and the owner’s manual specifically approves ceramic replacement glass.

FAQs:

Q: What are the glass dimensions?
A: The panel measures 9 1/4 inches wide by 2 15/16 inches high and is 3/16 inch thick.

Q: How much expansion clearance is required?
A: Provide at least 1/8 inch of room for thermal expansion. Follow the appliance manufacturer’s installation instructions when available.

Q: Should the glass mounting screws be tightened firmly?
A: The hardware should hold the glass securely without being overtightened. Excessive pressure from screws or retainers may cause the glass to break as the appliance heats.

Q: Can this glass be installed in a fireplace door?
A: Do not replace tempered fireplace-door glass with ceramic glass unless the appliance manual specifically approves the change. Factory-built and prefabricated fireplaces must be heater-rated and approved for ceramic glass.

Fit / Measuring / Safety Notes:

• Confirm that the appliance is a Caddy Cobra and that the required panel is the side glass.
• Compare the listed dimensions with the original glass or the appliance manufacturer’s specifications before ordering.
• Do not rely only on the firebox opening measurement; the replacement panel requires thermal expansion clearance.
• Allow at least 1/8" of room for the glass to expand.
• Do not overtighten screws, clips, or retaining hardware.
• Allow the appliance to cool completely before removing or installing glass.
• Wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling broken or replacement glass.
• Follow the stove owner’s manual for approved glass type, clearances, gasket placement, and installation procedures.
• Never operate the stove with cracked, improperly secured, or incorrectly fitted glass.
