Non-OEM, Build-to-Order Statement

HCIC cylinders are aftermarket, build-to-order replacement cylinders. They are not original equipment parts, and HCIC is not an authorized distributor of, nor affiliated with, any original equipment manufacturer named on this page. Unless a customer supplies a drawing, sample or nameplate data, HCIC manufactures each cylinder to the drawing prepared by HCIC and approved in writing by the customer before production begins (the "Drawing for Approval" process). Fitness for a particular application depends on operating pressure, duty cycle, mounting geometry, fluid compatibility and vehicle configuration; the buyer is responsible for confirming suitability, and HCIC's responsibility is limited to conformity with the approved drawing and the written warranty supplied with the order.
