4.3.1 Flushing
Before connecting pipes, flush the interiors of the tubes, solenoid valves, and
connected devices to remove foreign matter.
4.3.2 Blow circuit
Do not open the cylinder port circuit to the air because a drop in the air sup-
ply pressure may cause a malfunction. Select the external pilot type design
instead of the internal pilot type design. The lowest allowable pressure with
the internal pilot type design is 0.2 MPa.
4.3.3 Exhaust port
Minimize the restriction to the flow of the exhaust air because such re-
striction may cause a delay in the cylinder response. If such a delay hap-
pens, the speed needs to be adjusted between the cylinder and solenoid valve.
4.3.4 Pipe connections
(1) Tubes to be used
For use with solenoid valves with one-touch joints, select tubes of the type
specified by us:
Soft nylon tubes (F-1500 Series)
Urethane tubes (U-9500 Series)
(2) For installation at a site that has spatters in the air, select incombustible
tubes or metal pipes.
(3) For a piping used for both hydraulic and pneumatic controls, select a hydrau-
lic hose.
When combining a spiral tube with a standard one-touch joint, fix the tube
origin using a hose band. Otherwise the rotation of the tube will decrease
the efficiency of the clamping.
For use in a high-temperature atmosphere, select fastener joints instead of
one-touch joints.

(4) When selecting from tubes commercially available, carefully study the accu-
racy of the outside diameter as well as the wall thickness and the hardness.
The hardness of an urethane tube should be 93°C or more (as measured by
a rubber hardness meter).
With a tube that does not have a sufficient accuracy of the outside diameter
or the specified hardness, a decrease in the chucking force may cause dis-
connection or difficulty in inserting.

(5) Minimum bending radius of tubes
Observe the minimum bending radius of tubes. Neglecting the minimum
bending radius may cause disconnection or leaks.

(6) Cutting a tube
To cut a tube, use a tube cutter to cut the tube perpendicularly to the length
of the tube. Inserting an obliquely cut end of a tube may cause air leakage.
(7) Tube connections
Do not bend a tube immediately at where it is connected to the joint but lead
it out straight from the end of the joint for a length equal to or greater than
the outside diameter of the tube. The tension applied sideways through the
tube should not exceed 40N.
(8) Blank plug to be used
For use with a solenoid valve with a one-touch joint, select the blank plug
specified by us:
Blank plug GWP□-B Series
Outside diameter allowance
Soft or hard nylon ±0.1mm
Urethane φ4, φ6 +0.1mm

Beforewiring,readtheinstructionmanualcarefullyand
understandtheinstructions.
Apersonwhowiresneedstohaveknowledgeforsafely
performing suchoperationbasedontheunderstanding
aboutthe mechanismsandoperatingprinciplesofsole-
noidvalves.
Before supplying the power, check the power supply
voltageandthecurrenttype(ACorDC).
1) Caution for wiring
(1) When using the small terminal box and water-proof is required, use cab-tire
cords φ4 to φ6.5 in outer diameter (water-resistance is improved, but not
for outdoor use).
(2) The connector type (C, C1, C2, C3, D, D1, D2, D3) should be used in a place
with little dust and not directly exposed to water and oil.
(3) For the electrical circuit, use a switching circuit free of chattering.
(4) The electrical circuit should have fuses.
(5) Be sure that the operation voltage is within 10% of the rated voltage.
