I'm in the process of installing the crossover tube on an Accentra and have reached a little snag. While trying to maneuver the brass fitting into place it slipped and fell down inside the tube that supplies the air to the air wash. Any suggestions how to get it out

give you a little advise....instead of the silicone that it calls for I would recommend using JB weld to hold the brass inserts. works like a charm.

I use super glue. Yeah silicone sucks. Was gonna say magnet but brass aint gonna work. Stove is too heavy to yip upside down. Maybe try blasting air backwards through the airwash. Truthfully I bet it will be ok, just leave it in there.
 
thanks guys.i decided to just leave it in there..being brass,its non magnetic and as Scott mentioned stove is way too heavy to shake it out of there..tight access to get anything in there to be honest..finished the job today and fired her up and all is good..thanks again,Corkman
