Datasheet
1. If air leakage increases or equipment does 
not operate properly, stop operation.
After mounting is completed, confirm that it has been done 
correctly by performing a suitable function test.
2. Do not apply external force to the coil 
section.
When tightening is performed, apply a wrench or other tool to 
the outside of the piping connection parts.
3. Do not warm the coil assembly with a heat 
insulator, etc.
Use tape and heaters, etc., for freeze prevention on the piping 
and body only. They can cause the coil to burn out.
4. Secure the product except in the case of steel 
piping and copper fittings.
5. Avoid sources of vibration, or set the arm 
from the body to the minimum length so that 
resonance will not occur.
6. Instruction manual
Mount the product after reading the manual carefully and 
understanding its contents. Also keep the manual where it can 
be referred to as necessary.
7. Painting and coating
Warnings and specifications printed or pasted on the product 
should not be erased, removed or covered up.
Mounting
Warning
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.
2. Wrapping of pipe tape
When connecting pipes and fittings, etc., be sure that chips from 
the pipe threads and sealing material do not get inside the 
valve. 
Furthermore, when pipe tape is used, leave 1.5 to 2 thread ridg-
es exposed at the end of the threads.
3. Avoid connection of ground lines to piping, 
as this may cause electric corrosion of the 
system.
4. Always tighten threads with the proper 
tightening torque.
When screwing fittings into valves, tighten with the proper tight-
ening torque as shown below.

Tightening of M5 fitting threads
After tightening by hand, tighten approximately 1/6 turn further with a tightening 
tool. However, when using miniature fittings, tighten an additional 1/4 turn after 
tightening by hand. (In cases where there is a gasket in two places such as a 
universal elbow or universal tee, double the additional tightening to 1/2 turn.)
