NOTE:

Reheat element sheaths and fins are manufactured with stainless steel. Regular inspections are necessary to ensure proper cleanliness of the reheating element. Should inspection reveal corrosion particles on the reheating element or adjoining surfaces (including ducts and plenums), appropriate cleaning should be performed. Periodic reheating element replacement may be required to meet specific application requirements.
