This is the response that I got back from Genie about putting a header wrap on;
QUOTE Hello, Yes it is safe to apply heat wrap, but not advised as the wrap has a tendency to trap moisture and crystalizes the pipes over time causing them to crack and fail. Regars Sean Genie Headers Another option is to get the header ceramic coated. |
