I'm sure as long as you pay shipping Ben will be glad to send you the kit for assembly.

Good Video Ben, thanks. Since I started HVAC training this fall (evenings), I'm finding a lot of the same, and priceless, information that matches what you're offering. Thanks for all you do to advance the interNACHI video training.

Ben, that was great!
I've included the link in my report.
Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

That is an excellent idea Russ.

Ben this is a great tool.

Ok got it and viewing.
Thanks

(edit)

When you see Ben throwing that stuff around like Reynolds wrap it is easy to see why furnaces do not last very long.

I wonder if all of them have that same discolor where the air passage narrows,?

How was it determined this exchanger was leaking?
