• Please see the Product Specifications for more detail.
• All Extension Grade Wire rated at 400F except TX and BX which are rated at 212F
• The products referenced in the product specifications represent the most popular constructions. Other constructions can be manufactured to meet individual specification and application requirements. Contact factory for additional information
• Thermocouple material is normally supplied to meet tolerances above 0C (32F). If material is required to meet
  tolerances below 0C (32F), the purchase order must so state. Special selection of material is required.
  Suggested initial calibration tolerance. Requirements should be discussed between purchaser and supplier.
