<< List,
 
 Yesterday I was in the middle of installing a D.C. unit in a console and all 
 of a sudden the plastic clip that holds the humidistat on the heater bar 
 snapped.  Since this was the first clip to ever snap for me, I thought I 
 applied too much pressure or something.  So I tried the second clip and that 
 too cracked in half.
 
 Any history of these plastic snaps going bad?  I purchased the unit from 
 Schaff. >>

I haven't had much time to participate on the List lately but I did read this 
and the answer is YES, I had the same problem.  I was installing a 
Dampp-Chaser system in a vertical piano and BOTH clips broke when trying to 
use them in the normal manner.  It cost me a little time but fortunately, I 
had a couple of spare ones.

I thought this was just an anomaly but I am beginning to suspect that there 
is a bad batch of clips being distributed.  If you cannot complete your 
installation in the allotted time because of something like this, it kills 
your profit entirely.  If this is indeed a problem, it needs to be fixed 
right away.
