Got a brand new p43 harman. Bought the extension for the hopper… and the only thing holding it down is 4 little rub clamps. You can knock it over by just bumping it. ARE THEY REALLY THINKING THIS WAS A GOOD PRODUCT????

Hopping up the hopper with a hopper extension for Harman P-Series
Hello Time to install the hopper extension for the Harman P-61a. This hopper extension was not purchased thru a Harman Dealer and certainly may not be made by Harman. There were no holes drilled in the extension and no bolts or screws provided. My question is: Should nuts and bolts be used...

My P61a came with the extension pre-installed and I have no issues with it. But I also have no idea if they added silicone to it.
I added an extension to the P43. But, it was a used stove, and they had discontinued the specific hopper that fit properly, But the Harman extension that I got was a multi-fit (maybe they changed hoile patterns or something), so was a pain- although I got it snug enough that as long as I was consious to hold the side of the hopper while popping the lid, it was fine.
Funny story - @Don2222 added silicone to keep it stable later. He had installed a new exhaust fan for me and when we were horsing the stove back into place, the extension got knocked askew. He decided to fix that issue right away and added silicone. It is now very solid.

Thanks BB
I had a P68 with hopper extension and the vacuum switch would not hold in.
So I added some bolts and high temp clear silicone under the hopper extension to seal it better and then it all work fine.
Silicone makes a good seal to hold the vacuum too.
