Caution
(4) When connecting the tubing, take pressure
or possible changes to the tubing length
into account, and allow a sufficient margin.
Failure to do so may result in fitting breakage or
detachment of the tubing. Refer to the
recommended piping conditions.
(5) Do not apply unnecessary forces such as
twisting, pulling, moment loads, vibration
and impact, etc. on fittings or tubing.
This will cause damage to the fittings and will
crush, burst or release tubing.
(6) Tubing, with the exception of coiled tubing,
requires stationary installation. Do not use
standard tubing (non-coiled) in applications
where tubing is required to travel inside the
flexible protection tube. Tubing that travels
may sustain abrasion, extension, or
severance due to tensile force, or may result
in removal of tubing from fitting. Use
caution prior to use for proper application.
(7) To install the fitting, screw the fitting into the
hexagonal face of the body, and tighten with
an appropriate wrench.
Affix the wrench at the base of the thread. If the
size of hexagonal face and wrench do not
match, or tightening takes place near the tube
side, it may cause collapse or deformation of
the hexagonal face, or damage to the
equipment. After installing, confirm that there is
no damage to the fitting, etc.
Warning
(1) Type of fluids
Please consult with SMC when using the
product in applications other than compressed
air. Regarding products for general fluids,
please contact SMC concerning applicable
fluids.
(2) When there is a large amount of drainage.
Compressed air containing a large amount of
drainage can cause malfunction of pneumatic
equipment. An air dryer or water separator
should be installed upstream from filters.
(3) Drain flushing
If condensation in the drain bowl is not emptied
on a regular basis, the bowl will overflow and
allow the condensation to enter the
compressed air lines. This causes the
malfunction of pneumatic equipment. If the
drain bowl is difficult to check and remove, the
installation of a drain bowl with an auto drain
option is recommended.
Refer to "SMC Air Preparation System" for
further details on compressed air quality.
(4) Use clean air.
Do not use compressed air that contains
chemicals, synthetic oils that include organic
solvents, salt, corrosive gases, etc., as they can
cause damage or malfunction.
Caution
(1) Install an air filter.
Install an air filter at the upstream side of valve.
Select an air filter with a filtration degree of 5μm
or finer.
(2) Install an aftercooler, air dryer or water
separator, etc.
Compressed air containing a large amount of
drainage can cause the malfunction of
pneumatic equipment. Therefore, take
appropriate measures to ensure air quality,
such as by providing an aftercooler, air dryer or
water separator.
(3) Ensure that the fluid and ambient
temperature are within the specified range.
If the fluid temperature is 5oC or less, the
moisture in the circuit could freeze, causing
damage to the seals and leading to
equipment malfunction. Therefore, take
appropriate measures to prevent freezing.
Refer to "SMC Air Preparation System" for
further details on compressed air quality.
Warning
(1) Do not use in an atmosphere where
corrosive gases, chemicals, sea water,
water or water steam is present.
Refer to each construction drawing on the
fittings and tubing material.
(2) Do not expose the product to direct sunlight
for an extended period of time.
(3) Do not use in a place subject to heavy
vibration and/or shock.
(4) Do not mount the product in locations
where it is exposed to radiant heat.
(5) Do not use the ordinary fittings and tubing
in locations where static electricity would be
problematic.
It may result in the system failure and trouble.
In such places, use of antistatic fittings (KA
series) and antistatic tubing (TA series) are
recommended.
(6) Do not use the ordinary fittings and tubing
in locations where spatter is generated.
Spattering may result in a fire hazard. In such a
place, use of flame resistant fittings (KR/KRM
series) and flame resistant tubing
(TRS/TRB/TRBU/TRTU series) are
recommended.
