Warranty 

 
 

Wagner Meters warrants this product against defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year from 
the date of purchase, subject to the following terms and conditions: 
 
“Wagner Meters’ liability under this warranty shall be limited, at Wagner Meters’ option, to the repair or 
replacement of this product or any part thereof which is demonstrated to be defective. To exercise this 
warranty, visit 

www.wagnerrepairs.com

  for instructions. This limited warranty does not apply if the 

product has been damaged by accident, negligent handling, misuse, alteration, damage during shipment, 
or improper service. Wagner Meters shall, in no event, be liable for any breach of warranty or defect in 
this product, which exceeds the amount of the purchase price of the product. Wagner Meters shall not be 
liable for incidental or consequential damages for the breach of any express or implied warranty with 
respect to this product or its calibration.” 
 
With proper care and maintenance, as recommended in the manual, the meter should stay in calibration; 
however, because Wagner Meters has no control over the manner in which the unit will be used, it makes 
no warranty that the meter will stay in calibration for any specific period of time. Wagner Meters 
recommends purchasing a calibration verification block or returning the unit to the factory for diagnostic 
checkup and recalibration on the anniversary date of purchase, each year the meter is in service. 
 

This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, whether oral or written, express or implied. Any 
implied warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular 
purpose, are excluded. 

Agents and employees of Wagner Meters are not authorized to make 

modifications to this warranty or additional warranties binding on Wagner Meters. Accordingly, 
additional statements, whether oral or written, except written statements from an officer of Wagner 
Meters, do not constitute warranties and should not be relied upon by the customer. 
 
This warranty is personal to the customer purchasing the product from Wagner Meters and is not 
transferable.
