Warning
These products are intended for use in industrial compressed air
systems only. Do not use these products where pressures and
temperatures can exceed those listed under »Technical features«.
Before using these products with fluids other than those specified,
for non-industrial applications, life-support systems, or other applications not within published specifications, consult NORGREN.
Through misuse, age, or malfunction, components used in
fluid power systems can fail in various modes.
The system designer is warned to consider the failure modes
of all component parts used in pneumatic systems and to provide
adequate safeguards to prevent personal injury or damage to
equipment in the event of such failure.
System designers must provide a warning to end users in
the system instructional manual if protection against
a failure mode cannot be adequately provided.
System designers and end users are cautioned to review specific
warnings found in instruction sheets packed and shipped with
these products.
