Limitations Which Apply Are

Limitations Which Apply Are
These units must be operated within the catalogued environmental and application parameters. Determination of failure will be made by NOSHOK, Inc.'s equipment and personnel or a certified test facility specializing in this type of evaluation. Gauge failures determined to be caused by over-range, incompatibility with environment or product media and abuse will not be considered under this warranty. NOSHOK, Inc. will, at its discretion, repair or replace the working parts of the damaged gauge without cost to the customer.

In keeping with and for purposes of product and/or manufacturing process improvements, NOSHOK, Inc. reserves the right to make design changes without prior notice.

Options and Accessories

Distribution Manifolds
NOSHOK's Distribution Manifolds connect multiple instruments to one diaphragm seal, eliminating multiple connections that lead to possible leak paths.
