The Raw cover was not properly cleaned prior to being Powder coated.
In early June 2016 we had several reports of the Alum finish peeling right off of the 4600 covers. We evaluated samples and found that the powder coat was not adhering properly to the cover due to contaminants on the raw cover prior to being powder coated. These Alum covers as well as Dark Bronze are Powder Coated at our supplier so we put corrective actions in place to ensure they properly cleaned the raw covers prior to being powder coated. Also, at this time we checked all our stock of both the Alum and Dark Bronze finish to ensure quality and pulled any suspect parts.
The Units that were reported to have peeling finish were shipped anywhere from mid 2015 to July 2016. All reported units where the Alum Finish, Dark Bronze finish was not an issue.
