Important Fitment Note:
Empire fireplaces may use different gasket sizes and styles depending on the fireplace model and gasket location. Do not order based solely on the Empire brand name or the appearance of your existing gasket.

This kit contains approximately 1/2" x 1/2" rope gasket. Before ordering, check your Empire fireplace owner's manual or parts information and compare the diameter and style of your existing gasket with the 1/2" gasket supplied in this kit.

If your fireplace requires a different diameter or gasket style, Total Hearth also offers additional high-temperature rope and fireplace gasket sizes for compatible applications.

Why Is the Fireplace Gasket Important?
Fiberglass rope gasket creates a compressible seal between mating fireplace components. Over time, repeated heating, cooling, and compression can cause fiberglass gasket material to flatten, harden, fray, or lose its original shape.

A properly fitted replacement gasket helps reduce unwanted air leakage and restore the intended seal around compatible fireplace components.

When Should Your Fireplace Gasket Be Replaced?
Consider replacing the gasket if you notice:
• Flattened or excessively compressed gasket material
• Frayed or unraveling fiberglass
• Hardened or brittle gasket sections
• Missing or damaged gasket material
• Gasket pulling away from the mounting channel
• Visible gaps around the sealed component
• Unwanted air leakage
• Difficulty maintaining a consistent seal

Installation Tips:
• Allow the fireplace to cool completely before beginning installation
• Note the position and routing of the original gasket before removal
• Carefully remove the old gasket from the gasket channel
• Remove old adhesive, loose fibers, soot, dirt, and debris from the channel
• Test-fit the new 1/2" rope gasket before applying adhesive
• Apply the included gasket adhesive according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions
• Press the gasket evenly into the channel without excessively stretching it
• Work gradually around corners and curves
• Trim the gasket to the required finished length
• Butt the gasket ends together neatly without overlapping them
• Allow the adhesive to cure according to the instructions before operating the fireplace

Important – Do Not Stretch Rope Gasket:
Avoid stretching the rope gasket during installation. Stretching can reduce the effective diameter of the gasket and may prevent it from providing the proper compression once installed.

Check the Seal After Installation:
After installation and proper adhesive curing, verify that the repaired door or component closes and operates correctly and that the gasket makes consistent contact with the mating surface.

Important Installation Note:
Always follow the instructions provided for your specific Empire Archway fireplace when replacing gasket material. The correct gasket diameter, location, and compression are important for proper fireplace operation.

Do not substitute 1/2" gasket for a different factory-specified gasket size simply because it fits into the gasket channel. Verify the required size before installation.
