Exact fit
Replaced two of these due to hairline crack that happened over winter. Perfect fit and everything back up and operational. Saved money as well over the local supplier. Shipping was fast.

Never heard of Supply House
This company did me right! The rep answered and stayed with me until we correctly identified my part. Quoted price and shipping next day air.
Part arrived next day in perfect condition. This experience was tip notch. I will use again when needed.
