conditions that dew condensations will not be formed in the inside of pipe.
 In case of mounting commercial joint to the aluminum body type, apply a spanner on
the metal part of this product and tighten by the tightening torque of 16 to 18N·m.
If excessive torque is applied, the commercial joint or the main body may break.
 When piping, care must be taken that foreign materials such as sealing tape
and adhesive must not enter into the inside. If the foreign materials are en-
tered, the product may malfunction or break.
 Make sure to mount the joint when using the product with its secondary side (downstream)
