TRU-Infrared 463242715 tents are G466-0024-W1 class ~15.25 × 1.8 inches under 17-inch emitters — not Advantage 15-1/8 × 2-inch tents and not Performance 17-inch tents.

On 463242715 the “heat plate” is a narrow stainless tent (G466-0024-W1, about 15-1/4” × 1-13/16”) under a 17” emitter. People order Performance 17” tents (G470-0004-W1) and the emitters will not seat. Advantage G361-0003-W1 2”-wide tents are also wrong.

If the emitter itself is rusted, that is a G533-2200-W1-class search — different part than this tent.

Procedure

  1. Plate 463242715 / 463242716. Count four mains.
  2. Cold. Grates off. Lift emitters. Measure the tent under each: ~15-1/4” × ~1-13/16”.
  3. Compare the verified IR kit listing. Reject 17” Performance photos.
  4. Lift old tents. Scrape the rail so emitters sit flat.
  5. Set four new tents peaks-over-tubes. Height must leave room for the emitter + grate.
  6. Emitters on. They must not teeter. If they rock, the tent is too tall — return it.
  7. Grates on. Preheat. A gap at the emitter edge is a flare path.
  8. Related tubes: 463242715 burners.

FAQ

Do I replace emitters or tents on a Commercial IR grill?

Tents (G466-0024-W1) shield the 5/8” tubes. Emitters (often G533-2200-W1) are the 17” IR plates under the grate. Measure both; they are not interchangeable.

Will Advantage 463344116 tents fit 463242715?

No. Advantage tents are a different width/tab family (G361-0003-W1).

Pull stamped Char-Broil tubes, match length and inlet, reseat on the orifices, and leak-check. Universal tubes that are short are how flashbacks start.

Replace Char-Broil heat plates

Measure tent length and width on Performance and Commercial carts. Heat plates are the drip shields — when they lace, burners die. Do not buy by lid name alone.
