GENERAL
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD: This heater is not intended for use in hazardous atmospheres where flammable vapors, gases, liquids, or other com- bustible atmospheres are present as defined in the National Electrical Code. Failure to comply can result in explosion or fire.
Chromalox type GTF series of Teflon®
Sheath corrosion can result in a ground fault which, depending upon the solution being heated, can cause an explosion or fire.
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the pur- chaser of the heater to make the ultimate choice of sheath material based upon his knowledge of the chemical composition of the corrosive solu- tion, character of the materials entering the solu- tion, and controls which he maintains on the process. Chromalox cannot warrant any electric immersion heater against failure by sheath corrosion if such failure is the result of operating conditions beyond our control.
