Piping
1. Refer to the Fittings and Tubing
Precautions for handling one-touch
fittings.
2. Preparation before piping
Before piping is connected, it should be thoroughly
blown out with air (flushing) or washed to remove chips,
cutting oil and other debris from inside the pipe.
3. Wrapping of pipe tape
When screwing piping or fittings into ports, ensure that
chips from the pipe threads or sealing material do not
enter the piping. Also, if pipe tape is used, leave 1
thread ridges exposed at the end of the threads.
4. Connection of fittings
When screwing fittings into valves, tighten as follows.
(1) Follow the procedures below when installing an
SMC fitting, etc.
1) M3
After tightening the fitting by hand, use a wrench to
tighten the fitting an additional approximately 1/4
turn. As a reference valve, tightening torque is 0.4
to 0.5N･m.
2) M5
After tightening the fitting by hand, use a wrench to
tighten the fitting an additional approximately 1/6 to
1/4 turn. As a reference value, tightening torque is 1
to 1.5 N･m.
Note) If tightened excessively, the thread of the
product may break or the gasket may deform. If
tightened insufficiently, the thread of the product
may become loose. In either case, air leakage
can occur.
(2) Follow the procedure of the manufacture when
fittings other than SMC is used.
3) Rc type
Tighten with the proper torque shown below.

5. Piping to products
When piping to a product, avoid mistakes regarding the
supply port, etc.
Lubrication
1. Lubrication
1) The valve has been lubricated for life by the factory
and does not require any further.
2) If a lubricant is used in the system, use class 1
turbine oil (no additive), ISO VG32.
Once a lubricant is used in the system, lubrication
must be continued because the original lubricant
applied during manufacturing will be washed away.
If turbine oil is used, refer to the Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS) of the oil.
Air Supply
1. Type of fluids
Please consult with SMC when using the product in
applications other than compressed air.
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. It
causes malfunction of pneumatic equipment. If the
drain bowl is difficult to check and remove, installation
of a drain bowl with an auto drain option is
recommended.
For compressed air quality, refer to SMC’s Best
Pneumatics catalog.
4. Use clean air
Do not use compressed air that contains chemicals.
Synthetic oils including organic solvents, salt or
corrosive gases, etc., as it can cause damage or
malfunction.
1. When extremely dry air is used as the
fluid, degradation of the lubrication
properties in side the equipment may
occur, resulting in reduced reliability (or
reduced service life) of the equipment.
Please consult with SMC.
2. Install an air filter.
Install an air filter upstream near the valve. Select an
air filter with a filtration size of 5 µm or smaller.
3. Take measures to ensure air quality,
such as by installing an aftercooler, air
dryer, or water separator.
Compressed air that contains a large amount of
drainage can cause malfunction of pneumatic
equipment such as valves. Therefore, take
appropriate measures to ensure air quality, such as by
providing an aftercooler, air dryer, or water separator.

Air Supply
4. If excessive carbon powder is seen,
install a mist separator on the upstream
side of the valve.
If excessive carbon dust is generated by the
compressor, it may adhere to the inside of a valve and
cause it to malfunction.
For compressed air quality, refer to SMC’s Best
Pneumatics catalog.
Operating Environment
1. Do not use in an atmosphere having corrosive gases,
chemicals, sea water, water, water steam, or where
there is direct contact with any of these .
2. Do not use in an environment where flammable gas or
explosive gas exists. The products do not have an
explosion proof construction.
3. Do not use in a place subject to heavy vibration and/or
shock.
4. The valve should not be exposed to prolonged sunlight.
Use a protective cover.
5. Remove any sources of excessive heat.
6. If it is used in an environment where there is possible
contact with oil, weld spatter, etc., exercise preventive
measures.
Maintenance
1. Perform maintenance inspection
according to the procedures indicated in
the operation manual.
If handled improperly, malfunction and damage of
machinery or equipment may occur.
2. Removal of equipment, and
supply/exhaust of compressed air
When components are removed, first confirm that
measures are in place to prevent workpieces from
dropping, run-away equipment, etc. Then, cut off the
supply pressure and electric power, and exhaust all
compressed air from the system using the residual
pressure release function.
For 3-position closed center type, exhaust the

③Strong impact was given.
⑤Repair or replace actuators.
※If any trouble should happen with the uni,please send it back to the supplier for repair or replacement.
If no improvement is achieved in spite of the above countermeasure, inside of the valve may have some
failure. In this case, stop using the valve immediately.
If any of followings are carried out, inside of the valve may have some failure. In this case, stop using
the valve immediately.
①Oil other than the specified one has been lubricated.
⑤Prohibited way of using the valve which is written at "Precautions" section in this operation manual
was carried out excluding above-mentioned.
②Lubrication has been stopped intermediately, or lubrication was suspended temporary.
③Reduce the amount of lubricant to the degree that no oil splashes out of the air exhaust port.
④Replace worn spool valve. To remove foreign matter,air blow piping, then replace valve.

○In applications where excessive condensate is produed, install either an auto-drain or a dryer.The
valve should be replaced.
○If wrong oil is used, completely air blow to remove oil, and replace valve. After valve is replaced,
use turbine oil class 1 (ISO VG32).
Regulate pressure so that pilot pressure will fall within operating pressure range furing operation.
