    I've thought it to be illegal, would get it fixed and expect some negative from some where. it's nice when everything functions as it should. the stack is there for a reason.

    Broken clamp on the flex tube. easy fix. best bet, replace the flex tube, new clamps and off ye go.

    As to why it takes so much to get something as easy as this fixed is beyond me. Seems that almost every moderate sized operation has a problem with maintenance and repair services. Save a few bucks, fix it when its small and easy or pay way to much when the problem gets out of hand.

    I have been fortunate to not work for such a company. Rare these days, I know.
