Luxfer Gas Cylinders Limited 15 Year Warranty

1. What the Luxfer limited warranty covers:
   
   
   1. Luxfer Gas Cylinders warrants that each new aluminum cylinder that it manufactures shall be free of manufacturing and workmanship defects. This warranty provision also covers the external and internal cleanliness and the exterior finish of each new cylinder, which will be judged in accordance with regulatory requirements in the country in which Luxfer manufactured and shipped the cylinder, as well as in accordance with Luxfer quality standards.
      
      
   2. Luxfer Gas Cylinders further warrants that its aluminum cylinders will pass each required requalification test for 15 years from the original hydrostatic test date (the earliest date stamped on the cylinder crown) if the cylinder has been properly maintained and used in accordance with Luxfer recommendations found in the usage guides and product literature accompanying the cylinder, as well as in technical and safety bulletins published by Luxfer and posted on the Luxfer website at www.luxfercylinders.com.
      
      (See sections B and C, below, for conditions and situations that are not covered by this warranty or that will void the warranty.) All such tests must be performed at the owner’s expense and at the proper intervals required by applicable regulations in the country in which the cylinder is being used.
      
      
   3. This limited 15-year warranty covers only cylinders manufactured by Luxfer Gas Cylinders and does not include valves, regulators or any other devices or equipment attached to or used in conjunction with Luxfer cylinders.
      
      
   4. There are no warranties that extend beyond the exact text of the express written warranties described in this limited 15-year warranty.
      
      
2. Restrictions to this limited warranty:
   
   
   1. For the entire warranty period, the cylinder must be visually inspected internally and externally by a properly trained and certified inspector at intervals required by applicable regulations in the country in which the cylinder is being used and required by Luxfer policy. The results of each required inspection must be properly documented in accordance with applicable regulations.
      
      
   2. The cylinder must not be filled beyond its rated working capacity. Overfilling the cylinder will immediately void this warranty. (Other activities that will void the warranty are listed in section C, below.)
      
      
   3. Luxfer reserves the right to retest or reinspect any cylinder returned with the claim that it has failed a hydrostatic retest or a visual inspection. Luxfer further reserves the right to make the final determination concerning the proper disposition of any returned cylinder. Disposition will be made in accordance with all applicable regulations in the country in which the cylinder was being used at the time of inspection.
      
      
   4. This non-transferable warranty is valid only for the original owner of each Luxfer cylinder. Proper documentation of ownership, such as a valid warranty card and/or an original purchase receipt, will be required to verify ownership before any warranty claims are honored.
      
      
   5. Cylinders will be replaced only in accordance with current, published Luxfer policy.
      
      
3. What this limited warranty does not cover:
   
   
   1. Cylinders damaged during shipping and handling.
      
      
   2. Cosmetic damages such as scratches, dents and nicks that occur after a new cylinder is removed from its packaging for the first time.
      
      
   3. Cylinders damaged by accidents, fire and negligence.
      
      
   4. Cylinders damaged by improper use, improper storage and improper maintenance.
      
      
   5. Cylinders damaged by unauthorized repairs and modifications, including (but not limited to) grinding, cutting, sand-blasting, shot-blasting, media-blasting, sanding, brushing, polishing, engraving, scraping and any other activity that removes metal and thins cylinder walls. Additional unauthorized activities include subjecting Luxfer cylinders to various harsh chemicals (e.g., certain cleaners, caustics, acids and other corrosive substances); exposing cylinders to heat processes that could anneal or otherwise adversely affect aluminum; recutting or resurfacing O-ring glands; and rethreading cylinders. Such unauthorized activities will immediately void this limited warranty. In addition, such modified cylinders may become unsafe to fill and use. Luxfer accepts no responsibility or liability for the condition or performance of any cylinder modified by unauthorized persons or companies. (See the usage guides and product literature accompanying Luxfer cylinders, as well as technical and safety bulletins published by Luxfer and posted on the Luxfer website at www.luxfercylinders.com.)
