American Mantle 7998680 Hard Inverted Gas Light Mantle

Product Description

The AMERICAN MANTLE 7998680 is a No. 2 hard inverted gas light mantle with an integrated ceramic support structure. Designed for pre-shaped mantle applications, it replaces soft or fragile mantles in standard outdoor and decorative gaslights. The ceramic support provides structural rigidity and resistance to mechanical shock, extending service life in installations subject to vibration or handling during routine maintenance. Licensed gas service technicians and experienced lighting maintenance crews install this mantle during lamp servicing or mantle replacement calls. Sold individually, one mantle per package.

This mantle is suited for standard residential and commercial gaslight fixtures that require a pre-shaped, hard inverted mantle rather than a tie-on style. Common applications include post-mounted decorative gas lanterns and similar fixtures found in residential streetscaping, historic districts, and commercial property lighting. The inverted orientation and pre-formed shape eliminate the burn-in forming step required with soft mantles, simplifying replacement in the field.

Key Features

• No. 2 hard inverted form factor fits standard pre-shaped mantle gaslight fixtures
• Ceramic support structure provides shock resistance and maintains mantle shape during handling and operation
• Pre-shaped design requires no burn-in forming prior to use
• Sold individually for single-unit replacement jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement mantle for standard gaslight fixtures that require pre-shaped, hard inverted mantles. Verify fixture mantle size and orientation requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Mantle replacement on gas lighting fixtures should be performed by a qualified gas service technician following all applicable local codes and the fixture manufacturer guidelines. Shut off gas supply to the fixture completely before opening the lantern globe or accessing the burner assembly. Handle the mantle carefully after installation, as ceramic mantles are fragile prior to first lighting. Allow the mantle to fully ignite and stabilize before returning the globe to service.
