On Monday August 19, 2002 we came across this problem fitting a new part though the furnace. There was no indication it would not work as it easily passed under the door!
The part when set on two blocks was under 5 inches tall
This part was damaged severely as it went through the furnace. The crew was able to watch it get destroyed as it hit the first spray bar, between the pre-heat and the High heat zones.
The debris on the top of the screen is evidence of a collision with the spray bar.
At first this might seem unrelated to the problem of the bowing parts, but I think you will find the next page most interesting.
