Foist, oh mighty magnate of the Engineering Dept at Bovine U, you purchase a magnet.....sound familiar.....here are the rules:

1.) If it sticks, it ain't stainless (unless it's cheap 504 series)

2.) If it doesn't stick, it's prolly stainless or plastic.

3.) If you hit it and it makes a "ring" sound it's prolly metal (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

The set you have are iron pipe surrounded by a SS heat exchanger shell (So now you don't have to buy a magnet and learn how to use it).

duh... i didnt think about that (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/051103-stupid4.gif)


anywho... a magnet doesnt stick to anything but the black heater tubes.


sooo...the whole thing is stainless, even the flanges.
thanks guys (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)



BTW - anywhere to look for Manufacturer markings?
