Precautions
Be sure to read this before handling.
Selection
Warning
1. Confirm the specifications.
Products represented in this catalogue are designed only for
use in compressed air systems (including vacuum).
Do not operate at pressures or temperatures, etc., beyond the
range of specifications, as this can cause damage or malfunc-
tion. (Refer to the specifications.)
2. In case of using the product for medical care
This product is designed for use with compressed air system
applications for medical care purposes. Do not use in contact
with human bodily fluids, body tissues or transfer applications
to a human living body.
Air Supply
Warning
1. Types of fluid
This product is designed for use with compressed air.
2. In case of excessive condensation
Excessive condensation in a compressed air system may cau-
se pneumatic equipment to malfunction. Installation of an air
dryer, water separator before filter is recommended.
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 en-
ter the compressed air lines. It causes malfunction of pneuma-
tic devices.
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 our "Best Pneumatics"
catalogue.
Mounting
Caution
1. Confirm model no., size, etc. before installing.
Check tubing for damage, gouges, cracks, etc.
2. When tubing is connected, consider factors such as
changes in the tubing length due to pressure, and
allow sufficient leeway.
3. Do not apply unnecessary forces such as twisting,
pulling, moment loads, etc. on fittings or tubing.
This will cause damage to fittings and will crush, burst or re-
lease tubing.
4. Mount so that tubing is not damaged due to tan-
gling and abrasion.
This can cause flattening, bursting or disconnection of tubing,
etc.
Caution
1. Do not use in locations where the connecting
threads and tubing connection will slide or rotate.
The connecting threads and tubing connection will come apart
under these conditions.
2. Use tubing at or above the minimum bending ra-
dius. Using below the minimum bending radius can
cause breakage or flattening of the tubing.
3. Never use the tubing for anything flammable, explo-
sive or toxic such as gas, fuel gas, or cooling me-
diums etc.
Because the contents may penetrate outward.
4. Use the fittings applicable to the tubing size.
Piping
Caution
1. 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. Not allowing chips from the
piping thread or the seal material to go in.
Operating Environment
Warning
1. Do not use in locations having an explosive at-
mosphere.
2. Do not operate in locations where vibration or im-
pact occurs.
3. In locations near heat sources, block off radiated
heat.
Maintenance
Caution
1. Reform periodic inspections to check the following
problems and replace tubing, if necessary.
1) Cracks, gouges, wearing, corrosion
2) Air leakage
3) Twists or crushing of tubing
4) Hardening, deterioration, softening of tubing
2. Do not repair or patch the replaced tubing or fittings
for reuse.
3. When using insert or miniature fittings over a long
period, some leakage may occur due to age deterio-
ration of the materials.
If any leakage is detected,
correct the problem by additional tightening.
If tightening becomes ineffective, replace the fittings with a
new product immediately.
