Top Reasons To Work With Sur-Seal
- Help Gain & Improve Efficiency
Your Situation
During performance verification, you discover air leakage from the doorframe and cross member of your latest furnace design. You need to understand whether it’s a design or material issue – or both.
How Sur-Seal Helps
Our engineering team would design and conduct a test of your furnace to determine the leakage rate of your current design and discuss various component design and material options for ANSI Z.21 47-2012 compliance. Based on our findings, we will support seal redesign, explore material performance cost/benefits, and make recommendations to improve platform efficiency.
- Rapid Prototype to Production
Your Situation
Your team is considering options to reduce the number of condensate drain tubes in your system, but need quick turnaround of prototype parts for testing.
How Sur-Seal Helps
Sur-Seal can design the new tubing system, then quickly develop your prototype in-house using actual production materials. This prototype can be installed in your system for testing, accelerating the readiness for production and product launch.
- Flexible Logistics Options
Your Situation

Customer Challenge
A long-time Sur-Seal customer discovered air leakage from the cross member and door frame of one of their new furnace designs during performance verification to ANSI Z.21 47. Was this a design or material issue?
Sur-Seal Procedure
Sur-Seal took a methodological approach to the problem:
- Determined specific location of air leakage within the door frame and cross member
- Identified alternative materials (4 on cross member and 3 for door frame) and design configurations
- Tested to compare original material to alternatives
Outcome
Sur-Seal reduced the leakage rate by 52% after testing revealed the most effective material configuration for the furnace. BONUS: The new material configuration cost less than the original
