| Does anyone know if zarwerks is still open? I need to restore my 57 heater boxes and they are the only company I can find that sells j pipes to rebuild my heater boxes. Does anyone know of any other companies out there? |

I have stainless J Tubes and wanted them fitted into my stale air boxes. So I contacted John Henry to inquire if he still rebuild / repairs them. He replied that he no longer rebuilds stale air heater boxes.
However your original question still applies.
Does anyone no of anyone else who does. |

I stopped making those pipes after 10 years in 2014 so, sorry for the confusion. They were not that profitable for me, and as a volume product, Wolfsburg West was better suited for manufacturing and distribution. I have heard that people are very happy with their product.
