- Some temporary odor can occur from manufacturing oils or coatings.
- Can fingerprints discolor polished metal during heat cycling?
- Yes on some finishes.
- What is the estimated product weight?
- Approximately 30–45 lb depending on pipe diameter, converter construction, flanges, and material.
- What shipping weight should I use?
- Approximately 50 lb is a practical estimated packaged weight.
- Why can shipping weight vary?
- Converter design, tubing thickness, hardware, gaskets, and protective packaging affect the final weight.
- What should I inspect?
