Booster regulator
VBA2AVBA1A VBA4A
1. Operating pressure
Operate this product below the maximum operat-
ing pressure. If it is necessary, take appropriate
safety measures to ensure that the maximum op-
erating pressure is not exceeded.
When the tank alone is used
Use a pressure switch or a safety valve to ensure
that the maximum operating pressure is not ex-
ceeded.
2. Connection
• Connect a filter or a mist separator to the OUT
side of the tank. Because the inner surface of the
tank is untreated, there is a possibility of dust
flowing out to the outlet side.
A VBA booster regulator can be connected
directly with the tank accessories as indicated
combinations below.
• Consider the operating conditions and operate
this product within the specification range.
When using the air tank with a booster regulator,
refer to “Sizing” on page 5 or SMC Pneumatic
System Energy Saving Program.

1. Accessories
Refer to the operation manual (VBAT-M1, M2,
M3, M4) regarding combining booster regulators
with older model air tanks.
The accessories are secured by bands to the feet
of the air tank. Once removed, make sure not to
lose them.
2. Installation
Install the tank away from people. It is dangerous
if the accumulated air inside the tank were to
seep out.
• Do not mount the air tank on a moving part or a
place with vibration.
• When connecting a booster regulator with the
tank, refer to the operation manual first, which is
provided with the air tank before assembling.
Refer to the operation manual regarding mount-
ing methods when using long bolts.
To mount the air tank on a floor surface, use the
four holes to secure the tank with bolts or anchor
bolts.
Mounting
Warning
1. Inspection
The use of pressure vessels could lead to an un-
expected accident due to external damage or
internal corrosion caused by drainage. Therefore,
make sure to check periodically for external
damage, or the extent of internal corrosion
through the port hole. An ultrasonic thickness
indicator may also be used to check for any re-
duction in material thickness.
2. Draining
• If this product is used with a large amount of
drainage, the drainage could flow out, leading to
equipment malfunction or corrosion inside the
tank. Therefore, drain the system once a day.

Note 1) The thread type for each port is Rc.
Note 2) A stainless steel fitting and a drain valve are included in the
same container as accessories. (For detailed dimensions,
please contact SMC.) A safety valve cannot be selected.
Note 3) Since neither copper nor fluorine parts are used for the
tank, a standard model can be used when options (safety
valve and drain valve) are not necessary.
