NEWS FROM WEBSTER ENGINEERING UL TESTING

Webster Engineering has successfully completed the first phase of UL testing that was discussed this year at ASHRAE.

A UL inspector was in Winfield during the week of April 1st and ran the Model JBS2 burners through the required testing procedures.

As a result Webster should have approval for the bulk of the JBS2 and JBSX2 series burners within a fairly short time frame.

The JBS2 will be UL approved from 80 to 170HP, and the JBSX2 will be UL approved from 48 to 131HP.

As soon as WebsterðÌð•s upcoming service schools are completed in mid-April they will begin preparing for the second phase of UL approvals, which will be to obtain a UL listing for all burners in the JBS3 and JBSX3 series.

This should occur in mid to late summer.

WeðÌð•ll let you know just as soon as Webster has the actual UL approvals on the JBS2 and JBSX2 burners, which will allow shipment of these burners with a UL label.

Our expectation is that Webster should be able to ship units, with a UL label, for projects that begin quoting in the next few weeks.

In addition, we will keep you posted on WebsterðÌð•s test schedule for the JBS3 and JBSX3 series burners this summer.
