Subject:
SS-400-3 Heat Code EBY
Dear Valued Customer:
We are writing in regards to the twagelok Union Tee, part number SS-400-3.
Our records show that yoe may-have purchaced some of thesc parts with the Heat Code #EBY.
A defect in the raw material that was undetectable has been discovered when the fitting was assembled for service. -The defect causes the fitting body to fail immediately upon pulling up the nut 1-1/4 turne The 20* flare of the fitting body splits longitudinally and will leak during system pressurization tests.
When the nut is removed, the crack is very visible.
i Unfortunately some of these parts were shipped to.our customers before the defect was discovered.
Fe have recalled i
all of'our world wide inventories of this heat and out inspection indicates a_ defect rate of less than 0.1%.
Our experience indicates that the defect is found upon installation and/or testing of the system.
j If you have any unused inventory of the part number SS-400-3 Heat Code EBY, we would like to replace it.
