    This would make more likely to do business with them.They are admitting a problem,correcting it and offering compensation.

    Thanks, Bob

    I just installed a replacement vent damper on an old Hydrotherm. It closed on a call for heat and allowed the boiler to fire.

    But this recall looks like it's for vent dampers supplied as original equipment. Hmmmmmm.

    What`s wrong

    with a V/D for oil?
    On approved equipment & proper set-up I only see this as a plus.

    Was this oil or NG?
    Would a spill switch not have helped?
    I thought that was code?

    If the product works

    I'm all for it. We've been down this road late 70's, early 80's with Flair. Most did not work, and caused many a call back. Field is a pretty good company to deal with on warranty items. They will be out there on units, and time will tell. Wiring is crucial, as in all motorized draft or damper system. Spillage and proven switches have to be in play. Like i said, Every little bit of technology helps us all, just hope it proves to be reliable, for we the middle men take the flack as usual. peace

    This was

    NG. Sure, the spill switch would have shut off the boiler, but I'm still stuck with a faulty vent damper.
