Abstract

A flame protection gasket has a gasket member with an embedded screen member within its structure. The screen member and gasket member are disposed in a common plane. The screen member is attachable to an air conduit structure in a manner that inhibits its removal after the attachment is completed. In addition, since the gasket member and screen member are part of an integral structure, the screen member must be replaced if the gasket member is replaced following repair or reassembly.
