Fitment Note:
Napoleon manufactures many fireplaces and heating appliances that use different gasket profiles. Always verify W562-0062 in your owner's manual, parts diagram, or service documentation before ordering.

If replacing an unidentified gasket, compare your original gasket with the approximately 7/8" bulb, 1" flat section, 1-7/8" overall width, 15PWM woven tadpole construction, graphite finish, and PSA backing listed here.

About the 15PWM Woven Tadpole Design:
Unlike conventional round rope gasket or flat gasket tape, this specialty tadpole gasket combines a compressible woven bulb with a flat mounting tail. The bulb provides the primary compressible sealing section while the flat portion provides the mounting surface.

The approximately 7/8" woven bulb is joined to an approximately 1" flat section, producing a complete gasket profile measuring approximately 1-7/8" overall.

Why Is the Door Gasket Important?
A properly fitted gasket helps maintain the designed seal between the fireplace door and surrounding appliance components. Worn, flattened, missing, or damaged gasket material can prevent the door assembly from sealing as originally intended.

When Should the Gasket Be Replaced?
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 mounting surface
• Damaged or deteriorated PSA backing
• Visible gaps around the door assembly
• Loss of the original woven tadpole profile

PSA Self-Adhesive Backing:
The pressure-sensitive adhesive backing helps hold and position the flat portion of the gasket during installation. For best adhesion, remove old gasket material, adhesive residue, soot, grease, dirt, and debris before installation. The mounting surface should be clean and completely dry.

The PSA is primarily intended to assist with gasket positioning. Always follow the appliance manufacturer's installation procedures regarding gasket retention, door hardware, and additional adhesive requirements.

Installation Tips:
• Allow the appliance to cool completely before beginning installation
• Inspect the position and orientation of the original gasket before removing it
• Remove the existing gasket carefully
• Clean old adhesive, gasket fibers, soot, grease, and debris from the mounting surface
• Make sure the mounting area is clean and completely dry
• Compare the replacement gasket profile with the original before installation
• Test-fit the gasket before removing the PSA protective backing
• Confirm the proper orientation of the 7/8" bulb and 1" flat section
• Remove the adhesive backing gradually while positioning the gasket
• Avoid stretching the woven fiberglass during installation
• Work gradually around corners and curves
• Trim excess material only after confirming the finished length
• Reinstall the door and related hardware according to Napoleon's instructions

Important Appliance Safety Note:
Proper door and gasket installation is important to safe appliance operation. Follow the manufacturer's installation and service procedures for your specific Napoleon model. Do not modify the original gasket configuration or substitute a substantially different gasket profile unless compatibility has been confirmed.
