Pressure loss 1% or less Pressure loss 1% or less
The electricity used by compressors for air accounts for approximately 20%of that consumed
by the entire factory. Also, 70% of the air consumed in the process is used for air blowing. SMC
blow guns have minimal pressure loss compared with conventional models, so they can achieve
equivalent performance at lower pressures and with less volume of air consumption. As a result,
it is possible to achieve a 20% reduction in power consumption.

When the yearly total working hours spent on air blowing amounts to 8,300 hours, use of conventional models
results in power consumption costs totaling 194,220 yen. When using the SMC system (Blow gun + S coupler
+ Coil tube), however, the yearly cost is reduced to 155,625 yen, for a total yearly saving of 38,595 yen, or
20% of the total.

For pressure loss improvement S coupler: Series KK
With a structure that employs no steel
balls, the coupler achieves a slim body
without narrowing of the channel, allow-
ing coverage of a wide effective area.
By not blocking the channel with the
valve spring, the loss of effective area
can be minimized.
This structure achieves smooth flow
through the channel.
쮿Conical structure of
check valve tip
쮿Smooth channel with
minimal unevenness
쮿Special method of
connection and fixation
Improved fitting’s restrictor and leakage
The surface-to-surface design allows
super-tight sealing.

side of the blow gun to enable emergency shut
off in case of unexpected leakage or damage.
2. When installing a nozzle on the blow gun, wrap
pipe tape around the threads of the nozzle.
3. When installing the nozzle, secure the
nozzle holder of the blow gun by applying a
spanner of 22 mm width across flats to the
two chamfered surfaces of the holder
without applying force to the body. Then,
tighten the nozzle with force within the
below torque range. As a guideline, it is
equivalent to 2 to 3 additional turns with a
tool after manual tightening.
1.
Check the specifications.
The products in this catalog are designed to be used in
compressed air systems only. If the products are used in an
environment where pressure or temperature is out of the specified
range, damage and/or malfunction may result. Do not use under
such conditions.

Warning
Warning
1. Check the model, type and size before
installation.
Also, confirm that there is no scratches, gouges or cracks on the
product.
2. Before piping
Before piping, it should be thoroughly blown out with air (flushing)
or washed to remove chips, cutting oil and other debris from
inside the pipe.
Piping
Caution
Caution
3. Wrapping of pipe tape
When screwing together pipes and fittings, etc., be certain that
chips from the pipe threads and sealing material do not get inside
the blow gun. Also, when the pipe tape is used, leave 1.5 to 2
thread ridges exposed at the end of the threads.
Piping
Caution
4. When tightening the threads, secure the
nozzle holder of the blow gun by applying a
spanner of 22 mm width across flats to the
two chamfered surfaces of the holder
without applying force to the body. Then,
tighten the nozzle with torque specified in
the below table. As a guideline, it is
equivalent to 2 to 3 additional turns with a
tool after manual tightening.
Be careful that tightening with torque beyond the ranges in the
below table may cause damage to the body.
5. Allow extra length when connecting a tube
to accommodate changes in tube length due
to pressure.
6. Confirm that no twisting, turning or tensile
force or moment load is applied to the port
or tube. This may cause fittings to fracture
or tubes to be crushed, burst or come loose.
7.
Do not abrade, entangle or scratch the tube.
This may cause the tube to be crushed,
burst or come loose.
1. Use clean air.
Do not use compressed air which includes chemicals, synthetic
oils containing organic solvents, salt or corrosive gases, etc., as it
can cause damage or malfunction.

Air Supply
9. When the blow gun is used or stored, con-
firm that no twisting, turning or tensile force
or moment load is applied to the port or
tube. This may cause fittings to fracture or
tubes to be crushed, burst or come loose.
1.
Install air filters.
Install air filters at the upstream side of blow gun. Choose the
filtration degree of 5 µm or finer.
2. Install an after-cooler, air dryer or water
separator, etc.
Air excessive drainage may cause malfunction of blow gun and
contaminate or damage the target object. To prevent this, install
an after-cooler, air dryer or water separator, etc.
Caution
1. Do not use in an atmosphere of corrosive
gases, chemicals, sea water, water or water
vapor or in an environment where such
substances may adhere.
2.
Provide shading in an environment where
the product is exposed to the sunlight.
3.
Do not use in an environment where a heat
source is at a close distance.
4.
Do not use in an environment where static
electricity is a problem. It may cause
malfunction or failure of the system. Contact
SMC for use in such an environment.
5.
Do not use in an environment where spatters
are generated. There is danger of fires
caused by spattering. Contact SMC for use
in such an environment.
6.
Do not use in an environment where the
product is exposed to cutting oil, lubricating
oil or coolant oil. Contact SMC for use in an
environment where the product is exposed
to such liquid as cutting oil, lubricating oil or
coolant oil.
Operating Environment
Warning
1. In periodical inspections, check the follow-
ing items and replace the parts if necessary.
a) Scratches, gouges, abrasion, corrosion
b) Air leakage
c) Twisting, crushing and turning of connected tubes
d) Hardening, deterioration and softening of connected tubes
e) Loosening of nozzles
2. When removing the product, first stop the
pressure supply, exhaust compressed air in
the piping and confirm the condition of
atmospheric release.
3.
Do not disassemble or remodel the body of
the product.
Maintenance
Caution
1. To prevent lurching of the nozzle due to air
pressure, confirm that the nozzle is not
loosened or rattling by pulling it by hand
before operation.
2.
Make sure to wear safety goggles to protect
yourself from splashed substances.
3.
Do not direct the tip of the nozzle at the face
or other parts of a human body. It may cause
danger to personnel.
4.
Do not use the product to clean or remove
toxic substances or chemicals.
5.
Do not drop, step on or hit the product. It
may cause damage to the product.
6.
Do not use the product to disturb public
order or public hygiene.
7.
This product is not a toy.
