Boiler assembly problem!

Man are we having some problems!
Last week we started assembling 4 new Peerless push-nipple boilers. While pulling together the first two blocks we split a section on the ear. Figuring it was a fluke we moved to the next block and assembled that one with no problem. Since this boiler was now together we figured we would plug it up so we could do a hydro on it. While installing one of the 1/2" plugs we cracked the front of that boilers section.
At this time we notified our local Peerless rep. from Quality Equipment Sales in PA. He ran right down here the following day to see what was going on. He then decided that we where going to assemble a section with him there. Well, that one cracked too. Our rep. then decided he would get someone from Peerless down here with three new sections and see whats going on.
So yesterday we all gathered with the new sections and started disassembling and assembling the boilers. To no avail the first boiler we assembled broke on the block ear! We then got the rest of the boilers together, but while assembling the plugs we broke another section at a 3/4" well.
All I can say is THANK GOD it is not the middle of the winter!
I would like to say that our rep. from Quality has been outstanding. He has kept his word and stood by us this entire time. I also think it is great that someone from Peerless actually showed up on sight.
Although, I am very worried about these boilers and I am hoping we have no problems with them in the years to come!
