Hi folks,
I just removed both air tubes from my Regency H2100 Hearth Heater to get to my Steel Baffle (which was upside down thanks to chimney sweeper “professionals” reinstalling after they cleaned.
I am no expert when it comes to the tubes. Each end tip looked slightly bent, and unsure if that’s intended, or something isn’t correct. I took some pics - can anybody confirm if I should order new ones? I’m already ordering new insulation above the baffle, so it’s not a huge deal since it’ll be apart for a couple weeks while I wait for the insulation.
I don’t know how old they are, or how much wood was burned with them, since I got the insert used.
Any help would be appreciated.
Pics attached.
