Napoleon N655-0206 Base Stiffener for Prestige PRO 665 & 825 Grills

What Problem This Part Solves

The N655-0206 provides additional structural support to the grill's base assembly. If the original stiffener becomes bent, damaged, heavily corroded, or is missing after a grill has been disassembled, the base may lose some of its intended rigidity and alignment.

Replacing the damaged component helps:

• Reinforce the grill base

• Maintain proper structural alignment

• Support surrounding base components

• Restore the grill to its original factory configuration

• Prevent movement caused by a damaged or missing reinforcement

Napoleon's factory PRO665 parts diagram specifically places N655-0206 in the base assembly and identifies it as the base stiffener.

Installation / Use Instructions

1. Shut off the gas supply, disconnect electrical power where applicable, and allow the grill to cool completely.

2. Access the base assembly and remove the damaged N655-0206 stiffener, retaining reusable factory mounting hardware.

3. Position the replacement stiffener in the original mounting location and secure it using the grill's original hardware.

Because this is a structural component, verify that the base and surrounding panels are properly aligned before fully tightening the mounting hardware.
