EMTEQ Offers Certified Water Heater Modification Kit
In Response to Transport Canada Civil Aviation Safety Alert
New Berlin, Wis., USA – EMTEQ has a certified water heater modification kit as a solution in response to the Transport Canada CASA 2014-01 issued on 28 of January, 2014.
A safety concern has arisen regarding aircraft equipped with General Dynamics Aviation Services (GDAS) (formerly KC Aviation) galley or lavatory water heaters installed under FAA STC SA696GL and/or SA4370SW with at least six known events.
These water heaters may have been installed on, but not limited to, Canadair Challenger, Gulfstream GII, GIII, GIV, Hawker 700/800 and in a wide variety of aircraft outside of the STC using a FAA Airworthiness Approval Tag 8130-3 and identified as assembly part number 444-0007 or installation part number 500-0120-7.0.
EMTEQ's Water Heater Modification Kit replaces heating and insulation components of GDAS water heater (P/N/ 444-0007). The kit will eliminate potential overheat and scalding hazards, and is a less expensive, less labor-intensive option to replacing the entire tank and heater.
Furthermore, EMTEQ's kit for Bombardier CL600 aircraft is Transport Canada (SA10-9), EASA (10029833) and FAA (ST6606NY) certified. The kit is also designed for Hawker 125, Dassault Falcon F50, F200, Gulfstream G1159/G1159B, GIV, Lockheed Jetstar, Jetstar 2, Jetstream 4101, and Sikorsky S76.
