Thanks!
It's a long story. We have had a problem with theft over the last several years. Someone who went by the name of FT86Power was stealing OFTs, OFHs, etc,. from our inventory and selling them on this forum through the private classifieds. Unfortunately, he was stealing OFHs that didn't pass our visual QA. They were supposed to go back to the manufacturer. Instead, he sold them on the forum to unsuspecting members for a quick buck.

Besides those, we have replaced only 4 OFHs over the last 3 years. Out of a few hundred sold, that's statistically insignificant. But it's certainly not insignificant for those who had to take the time to remove it and reinstall a replacement. We had a few units ship out prior to putting into a place a visual QA. If i had to set a date, I would say these units came out early last year (2015). Mind you, only a couple percent of them would have failed the QA. So it certainly doesn't effect the majority. But still, we are eager to get any failed units back for inspection and replacement.

The header tubing is indeed 304 stainless steel. The flanges are not stainless since there is no real advantage going SS there.
