They hooked the collar up to a fuel generator and fired it up. They heated that bad boy up to nearly 2100 degrees. The pipes were glowing red. (the draw collar is the black thing on the top of the flue pipe)
After it cooled, they went and plugged it in, and the thing still worked! Success!
They also tested the clearances. Single wall pipe has to be 18 inches from walls, and double wall must be 6(?) inches. So we needed to know if the Draw Collar would affect those standards. Success again! It is good to go.
We were very relieved that this testing is done, and that we can move forward with confidence knowing the product is safe.
And our website is now up and running (there's still a few minor details we're going to tweak, but feel free to check it out! I linked it on the sidebar.) A huge thank you to Matt B. for all your help in hooking us up!
