Husqvarna 372 T-port cover?

[Artemis]

I will be purchasing a Husky 372XPGW, with X torq, soon. I noticed that the transfer ports seem to have a removable cover/plate over top. The screws that hold the cover on have a similar head to that of a torx head, just with a dot in the centre. Like a tamper proof screw ya know? The salesman told me to never take that cover off because there is a seal in there that wont properly seal once it has been removed and then put back in again, hence the anti tamper screws. My questions are: Why do the transfer ports need a removable cover at all? It seems like another potential spot for air leakage in the long term. And why don't other 372's have this? I could be wrong, but I swear that I've seen some 372's that don't have this...? Thanks for the insight!

Ease of manufacturing. The covers are different between the 365 and 372. The cylinders are the same otherwise

The ones without them (covers) are non-x torq. It's a different jug.

They seal with an o-ring. They will re-seal just fine.

You can upgrade a 365xp x-torq by swapping the transfer covers from a 372xp x-torq, I believe.

Also, is that 372xpwG coming with a heated full-wrap handle?

No need to swap. Just grind that extra part out that sticks in the transfer.

Good to know, thank you!

Yes. I believe the "W" means a full wrap bar, and the "G" means heated handles. You can get a model with just the full wrap, or just heated, or both full wrap and heated. I appreciate that Husqvarna offers that kind of selection.
