Fitment Note:
Kingsman manufactures many different fireplace models that may use different thermalcord and gasket profiles. Always verify part number 1000-306 in your owner's manual, parts diagram, or service documentation before ordering.

If replacing an unidentified gasket, carefully compare the profile and measurements of your existing gasket with the approximately 1/2" bulb, 1-1/8" flat fiberglass section, and 1-5/8" overall width listed here.

Do not assume that another Kingsman thermalcord will interchange simply because it has a similar appearance. Kingsman uses multiple thermalcord profiles on its heating appliances, so the profile, dimensions, mounting method, and application should be verified before installation.

About the 7PW Thermalcord Tadpole Design:
Unlike conventional round rope gasket or flat fiberglass tape, a tadpole gasket combines a compressible sealing bulb with a flat mounting tail. This specialized design provides both a compressible sealing surface and a convenient mounting area.

On this 7PW gasket, the approximately 1/2" fiberglass bulb provides the primary compressible sealing section while the approximately 1-1/8" flat fiberglass section provides the mounting surface. Together, the complete gasket profile measures approximately 1-5/8" overall.

The self-adhesive backing helps position and secure the flat portion of the thermalcord during installation.

Why Is the Fireplace Glass Gasket Important?
The thermalcord gasket provides a compressible sealing surface around compatible fireplace glass and door-frame components. The proper gasket helps maintain the glass assembly in its intended position and provides the sealing characteristics designed into the fireplace.

Using the correct gasket profile is important because an incorrectly sized gasket may provide too much or too little compression and may not position the glass or door assembly as intended.

When Should the 1000-306 Thermalcord Be Replaced?
Repeated heating, cooling, compression, and normal fireplace use can eventually cause fiberglass gasket material to deteriorate. Replacement should be considered if you notice:
• Flattened or excessively compressed gasket material
• Frayed or torn fiberglass
• Hardened or brittle sections
• Missing gasket material
• Sections separating from the glass or door frame
• Damaged or deteriorated adhesive backing
• Visible gaps around the glass or door assembly
• Loss of the original tadpole gasket profile

It is also a good idea to inspect the thermalcord whenever the fireplace glass or door assembly is removed for cleaning, maintenance, or replacement.

Self-Adhesive Backing:
The flat mounting section features self-adhesive backing designed to help hold the gasket in position during installation. This makes it easier to maintain proper alignment while working around the compatible glass or door frame.

For best adhesion, carefully remove old gasket material, adhesive residue, soot, dust, grease, and debris before installing the replacement. The installation surface should be clean and completely dry.

The adhesive backing is primarily intended to assist with gasket positioning. Always reinstall the glass, door, retainers, and related components according to the procedures specified for your Kingsman fireplace.

Installation Tips:
• Turn off the gas and electrical supply before servicing the fireplace
• Allow the fireplace and glass to cool completely before beginning installation
• Carefully inspect the position and orientation of the original thermalcord before removing it
• Take photos during disassembly if needed for installation reference
• Remove the glass or door assembly according to the manufacturer's instructions
• Carefully remove the existing gasket and loose fiberglass material
• Remove old adhesive, soot, dust, grease, and debris from the mounting area
• Make sure the glass and mounting surfaces are clean and completely dry
• Compare the replacement gasket profile with the original gasket before installation
• Test-fit the gasket before removing the adhesive protective backing
• Confirm the proper orientation of the bulb and flat mounting section
• Remove the adhesive backing gradually while positioning the gasket evenly
• Avoid stretching the fiberglass thermalcord during installation
• Work gradually around corners and curves to maintain the proper gasket profile
• Trim excess material only after confirming the required finished length
• Reinstall the glass, door, and retaining hardware according to the manufacturer's instructions
• Do not overtighten glass retainers or mounting hardware

Important Gas Fireplace Safety Note:
Proper glass, door, and gasket installation is especially important on gas-burning appliances. Always follow the installation and service procedures specified for your particular Kingsman fireplace.

Do not modify the original gasket configuration, block designed air passages, or substitute a substantially different thermalcord profile. If you are unsure about the correct gasket placement, glass installation, or condition of the door assembly, have the fireplace inspected or serviced by a qualified gas appliance technician.
