Fitment Note:
Napoleon manufactures many fireplaces, stoves, inserts, and heating appliances that use different gasket sizes and profiles. Always verify W562-0077 in your owner's manual, parts diagram, or service documentation before ordering.

If replacing an unidentified gasket, compare your original gasket with the approximately 3/4" bulb, 1" flat section, 1-3/4" overall width, 4W woven construction, graphite finish, and PSA backing listed here.

Do not assume another Napoleon gasket will interchange simply because it looks similar. The bulb size, flat section, overall profile, mounting method, compression, and installation orientation should match the requirements of your particular appliance.

About the Woven Tadpole Gasket Design:
Unlike conventional round rope gasket or flat fiberglass tape, a tadpole gasket combines a compressible woven bulb with a flat mounting tail. The bulb provides the primary compressible sealing surface while the flat portion provides the mounting area required by the application.

On this gasket, the approximately 3/4" woven bulb is joined to an approximately 1" flat mounting section, producing a complete gasket profile measuring approximately 1-3/4" overall.

When Should the Gasket Be Replaced?
Repeated heating, cooling, compression, and normal appliance use can eventually cause fiberglass gasket material to deteriorate. Consider replacement 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 adhesive backing
• Visible gaps around the sealing surface
• Loss of the original woven tadpole profile

PSA Self-Adhesive Backing:
The pressure-sensitive adhesive backing helps position and hold the flat portion of the gasket during installation. For best adhesion, remove old gasket material, adhesive residue, soot, grease, dirt, and debris before installing the replacement gasket. 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 instructions regarding gasket retention, 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
• Take photos during disassembly if needed for reference
• Carefully remove the existing gasket
• Clean old adhesive, gasket fibers, soot, grease, dirt, and debris from the mounting surface
• Make sure the mounting area is clean and completely dry
• Compare the replacement profile with the original gasket before installation
• Test-fit the gasket before removing the PSA protective backing
• Confirm the proper orientation of the 3/4" 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 related components according to Napoleon's instructions

Important Appliance Safety Note:
Proper 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.
