{"product_id":"qbp697192","title":"i2Systems Closed Cell Foam Gasket, For Ember Series Lights, Single","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe i2Systems 530-00486 is a closed-cell foam gasket used when installing i2Systems Ember Series lights to help seal the fixture against the mounting surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt sits between the light housing and the boat surface and compresses as the light is fastened, which helps keep water from working behind the fixture during rain, spray, and washdowns. It also makes sense to replace the gasket any time an Ember light comes off for rewiring or service so the reinstall is not relying on a flattened, reused seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gasket is sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed-cell foam construction that resists soaking up water when compressed in place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade for i2Systems Ember Series lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps restore the seal when re-bedding an existing fixture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports a cleaner reinstall after pulling a light for access or troubleshooting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple replacement part that keeps service work straightforward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatibility is specific to i2Systems Ember Series lights. The gasket needs to match the light base and sealing surface to do its job, so confirm you are working with an Ember fixture before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gasket works best on a smooth, clean mounting area. If the surface has heavy texture, old sealant ridges, or damage around the cutout, take the time to level and clean the area so the gasket can compress evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemove the light, peel away the old gasket or sealant, and clean the mounting surface so it is free of oils and loose residue. Place the gasket so it lines up with the light base before setting the fixture back in position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTighten fasteners evenly so the gasket compresses uniformly around the perimeter. If you use bedding compound, apply it sparingly so the gasket can seat properly without excess squeeze-out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect the gasket any time the light is removed. Replace it if it is torn, permanently flattened, or contaminated with old sealant that will not clean off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeeping a spare on board can save time when a light has to come off unexpectedly during a wiring or hardware job.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"i2Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269366116533,"sku":"QBP697192","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1299890_qbp697192.jpg?v=1771543609","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp697192","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
