3 Installation
3.1 Installation
Warning
•Do not install the product unless the safety instructions have been
read and understood.
•If air leakage increases or equipment does not operate properly,
stop operation.
Check mounting conditions when the air supply is connected. Initial
function and leakage tests should be performed after installation.
•Ensure sufficient space for maintenance activities.
When installing the products, allow access for maintenance.
•Operation in a vacuum condition
When a valve is used for switching a vacuum, take measures to
install a suction filter or similar to prevent external dust or other
foreign matter from entering inside the valve.
In addition, at the time of vacuum adsorption, be sure to vacuum at
all times. Failure to do so may result in foreign matter sticking to the
adsorption pad, or air leakage causing the workpiece to drop.
•Regarding a vacuum switch valve and a vacuum release valve
If a non-vacuum valve is installed in the middle of piping system
having a vacuum, the vacuum condition will not be maintained. Use a
valve designed for use under vacuum condition.
3.2 Environment
Warning
•Do not use in an environment where corrosive gases, chemicals, salt
water or steam are present.
•Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.

3 Installation – continued
•Do not expose to direct sunlight. Use a suitable protective cover.
•Do not install in a location subject to vibration or impact. Check the
product specifications.
•Do not mount in a location exposed to radiant heat.
•Employ suitable protective measures in locations where there is
contact with water droplets, oil or welding spatter, etc.
•When valves are mounted in a control panel or are operated for
extended periods of time, employ measures to radiate excess heat,
so that temperatures remain within the valve specification range.
3.3 Piping
Caution
•Before piping make sure to clean up chips, cutting oil, dust etc.
•When installing piping or fittings, ensure sealant material does not
enter inside the port. When using seal tape, leave 1 thread exposed
on the end of the pipe/fitting.
•Tighten fittings to the specified tightening torque.
Connection thread Tightening torque [N m]
M5 1 to 1.5
1/8” 7 to 9
¼” 12 to 14
3/8” 22 to 24
•Closed centre valves
When using closed centre type valves, check carefully to be sure
there are no air leaks from the piping between the valves and
cylinders.
3.4 Lubrication
Caution
•SMC products have been lubricated for life at manufacture, and do
not require lubrication in service.
•If a lubricant is used in the system, use turbine oil Class 1 (no
additive), ISO VG32. Once lubricant is used in the system, lubrication
must be continued because the original lubricant applied during
manufacturing will be washed away.
3.5 Design
Warning
•Intermediate stopping
For 3-position closed centre valve is used to stop a cylinder at an
intermediate position, accurate stopping of the piston in a
predetermined position is not possible due to the compressibility of
air. Furthermore, since valves and cylinders are not guaranteed for
zero air leakage, it may not be possible to hold a stopped position for
an extended length of time.
Contact SMC if it is necessary to hold a stopped position for an
extended time.
•Effect of back pressure when using a manifold
Use caution when valves are used on a manifold, as actuator
malfunction due to back-pressure may occur.
Special caution must be taken when using 3 position exhaust centre
valve or when driving a single acting cylinder. To prevent a
malfunction, implement counter measures such as using a single
EXH spacer assembly or an individual exhaust manifold.
•Holding of pressure (including vacuum)
Since valves are subject to air leakage, they cannot be used for
applications such as holding pressure (including vacuum) in a
pressure vessel.
•Cannot be used as an emergency shut off valve, etc.
The valves presented in this catalogue are not designed for safety
applications such as an emergency shut off valve. If the valves are
used in this type of system, other reliable safety assurance measures
should also be adopted.
•Release of residual pressure
Provide a residual pressure release function for maintenance
purpose. Especially in case of 3 position closed centre valve or
perfect valve, ensure the release of residual pressure between valve
and cylinder.
3 Installation – continued
•About using the 2 position double type
When using the 2 position double type for the first time, actuators
may travel in an unexpected direction depending on the switching
position of a valve. Implement countermeasures not to occur any
danger by the actuator’s operation.
•About ventilation
When it is used inside a sealed control panel, etc., provide ventilation
to prevent a pressure increase caused by exhausted air inside the
control panel or temperature rise caused by the heat generated by
valve.
3.6 Selection
Caution
•Momentary operation
If a two position double valve will be operated with impulse signals,
the signal should be applied for at least 0.1 seconds. However,
depending on the secondary conditions, the signal should be applied
until the cylinder reaches the stroke end position, as there is a
possibility of malfunction.
•Low temperature operation
Unless otherwise indicated in the specifications for each valve,
operation is possible to -10 °C, but appropriate measures should be
taken to avoid solidification or freezing of drainage and moisture, etc.
3.7 Air supply
Caution
•Install air filters
Install air filters close to valves at their upstream side. A filtration
degree of 5 µm or less should be selected.
•Install an air dryer, after cooler or Drain Catch (water separator),
etc.
Air that includes excessive drainage may cause malfunction of valves
and other pneumatic equipment. To prevent this, install an air dryer,
after-cooler or water separator, etc.
•If excessive carbon dust is generated, eliminate it by installing
mist separators at the upstream side of valves.
If excessive carbon dust is generated by the compressor, it may
adhere to the inside of valves and cause malfunction.
4 Settings
4.1 One-touch Fittings
•Tubing attachment/detachment for One-touch fittings
1) Attaching of tubing
1.Take a tubing without flaws on its periphery and cut it off at a
right angle. When cutting the tubing, use tubing cutters TK-1, 2
or 3.
Do not use pinchers, nippers or scissors, etc. If cutting is done
with tools other than tubing cutters, the tubing may be cut
diagonally or become flattened, etc., making a secure
installation impossible, and causing problems such as the
tubing pulling out after installation or air leakage. Allow some
extra length in the tubing.
2.Grasp the tubing and push it in slowly, inserting it securely all
the way into the fitting.
3.After inserting the tubing, pull on it lightly to confirm that it will
not come out. If it is not installed securely all the way into the
fitting, this can cause problems such as air leakage or the
tubing pulling out.
2) Detaching of tubing
1.Push in the release button sufficiently, pushing its collar equally
around the circumference.
2.Pull out the tubing while holding down the release button so that
it does not come out. If the release button is not pressed down
sufficiently, there will be increase bite on the tubing and it will
become more difficult to pull it out.
3.When the removed tubing is to be used again, cut off the
portion which has been chewed before reusing it. If the chewed
portion of the tubing is used as it is, this can cause trouble such
as air leakage or difficulty in removing the tubing.
4.2 Other Tubing Brands
•When using other than SMC brand tubing, confirm that the following
specifications are satisfied with respect to the outside diameter
tolerance of the tubing.
4 Settings – continued
Nylon tubing within ±0.1 mm
Soft nylon tubing within ±0.1 mm
Polyurethane tubing within +0.15 mm,
within -0.2 mm.
Do not use tubing which does not meet these outside diameter
tolerances. It may not be possible to connect them, or they may
cause other trouble, such as air leakage or the tubing pulling out after
connection.
4.3 Manual override
Warning
Since connected equipment will operate when the manual override is
activated, confirm that conditions are safe prior to activation.

8 Limitations of Use – continued
Caution
•SMC products are not intended for use as instruments for legal
metrology.
Measurement instruments that SMC manufactures or sells have not
been qualified by type approval tests relevant to the metrology
(measurement) laws of each country.
Therefore, SMC products cannot be used for business or certification
ordained by the metrology (measurement) laws of each country.
Warning
8.2 Valves with pilot air returned spools or combined pilot
air/spring returned spools.
The use of these valves need to be carefully considered.
The return of the main spool into the safe position depends on the pilot
air pressure being present.
Take measures to ensure, that the operating pressure (for internal pilot
type) and external pilot pressure (for external pilot type), is applied for
the return of the spool into the safe position.
If the pilot air pressure drops below the specified minimum operating
pressure the following might occur:
• unexpected movement of the actuator when the pilot air pressure is
restored.
• prevention or delay of a stopping or reversing of movement
• an uncommanded change of the original position (without an input
signal).
The design of the safety system must take into account such behaviour.
Additional measures might be necessary. For example, the installation
of an additional air tank to maintain the pilot pressure. Such measures
must be evaluated by risk assessment within the validation process."
Refer to Section 2.3 Symbols for applicable products.
Warning
Any use in an ISO 13849 System must be within the specified limits and
