Replacement Ceramic Stove Glass for Century FW3200

Overview:

Restore the viewing area of your Century FW3200 with replacement ceramic glass sized specifically for the listed stove model. This custom-cut piece measures 14 3/4" wide by 12 3/4" high and is 3/16" thick, with a subtle amber tint.

Designed for the high-temperature environment found in heating appliances, the ceramic material withstands temperatures up to 1250°F and resists the rapid temperature changes associated with thermal shock. Ceramic glass can withstand up to three times the heat of tempered glass.

Key Features:

• Custom-cut ceramic replacement glass for the Century FW3200
• 14 3/4" wide x 12 3/4" high
• 3/16" thick ceramic glass
• Withstands temperatures up to 1250°F

• Designed to resist thermal shock from extreme temperature changes
• Suitable ceramic glass material for wood, coal, and pellet stove applications when properly matched to the appliance

Important Information:

Proper installation clearance is essential. The glass should have at least 1/8" of room for thermal expansion. Installing the glass without adequate clearance can place stress on the panel as temperatures rise and may cause breakage.

Mounting screws and other metal hardware also expand when heated. Do not overtighten the hardware against the ceramic glass. The panel should be retained securely without being clamped excessively.

Always verify the required glass type in your appliance documentation. Ceramic glass should not be substituted for tempered glass in applications that are not specifically designed or approved for ceramic glazing.

FAQs:

Q: What size is the glass?
A: The glass measures 14 3/4" wide by 12 3/4" high and is 3/16" thick.

Q: How much expansion clearance should I allow?
A: Allow at least 1/8" of room for thermal expansion around the replacement glass.

Q: Should the glass mounting hardware be tightened firmly?
A: The glass needs to be properly secured, but the mounting hardware should not be overtightened. Metal hardware expands when heated, and excessive pressure can damage the glass.
