Air Supply
1. Type of fl uids
Please consult with SMC when using the product in 
applications other than compressed air.
Regarding products for general fluids, please contact SMC 
concerning applicable fl uids.
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 fi lters.
3. Drain fl ushing
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 diffi cult 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.
Fittings & Tubing
Precautions 2
Be sure to read this before handling products.
Warning
Operating Environment
1. Do not use in an atmosphere where corrosive 
gases, chemicals, sea water, water, or water steam 
is present. Do not use in cases where there is direct 
contact with any of the above.
Refer to each construction drawing on the fi ttings 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 impact.
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 fi re hazard. In such a place, use of 
flame resistant fittings (KR/KRM series) and flame resistant 
tubing (TRS/TRB series) are recommended.
7.  Do not use in an environment where the product is 
directly exposed to cutting oil, lubricant, coolant oil, 
etc.
Please contact SMC if using for an environment exposed to 
cutting oil, lubricant or coolant oil, etc.
8. Take note that if nylon tubing and soft nylon tubing 
are used in a clean room.
The antioxidant on the surface of the soft nylon tubing may 
come off, thereby lowering the cleanness level. 
9. Do not use in environments where foreign matter 
may stick to the product or get mixed in the 
product’s interior.
This may cause leakage or disconnection of the tubing.
Warning
1. Install an air fi lter.
Install an air fi lter at the upstream side of valve.
Select an air fi lter with a fi ltration degree of 5 μm or fi ner.
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 specifi ed range.
If the fl uid temperature is 5°C 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.
