This specialized design provides both a compressible sealing surface and a convenient mounting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn this gasket, the approximately \u003cstrong\u003e1\/2\" graphite fiberglass bulb\u003c\/strong\u003e provides the primary compressible sealing section while the approximately \u003cstrong\u003e1-1\/8\" flat fiberglass section\u003c\/strong\u003e provides the mounting surface.

The correct gasket helps maintain the glass in its intended position while reducing direct contact between the ceramic glass and metal components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the proper gasket profile is especially important because an incorrectly sized gasket may provide too much or too little compression around the glass assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen Should the Glass Tadpole Gasket Be Replaced?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRepeated heating, cooling, compression, and normal fireplace use can eventually cause fiberglass gasket material to deteriorate.

The installation surface should be clean and completely dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PSA backing is primarily intended to assist with positioning the gasket.
