2. Removal of the tube
(1) Push the release button flange evenly and sufficiently to release the tube. Do not push in the tubing before
pressing the release button.
(2) Hold down the release button while pulling out the tube. If the release button is not held down fully, it will be
more difficult to pull out the tube.
(3) If the removed tubing is to be used again, cut off the section of the tubing which has been gripped.
Re-using the gripped portion of the tube can cause problems such as air leakage or difficulty in removing
the tube.
3. Other manufacturers' tubes
If tubes of brands other than SMC are used, confirm that the materials and tolerance of the tubing outside
diameter will satisfy the following specifications.
(1) Nylon tube: Within ±0.1 mm
(2) Soft nylon tube: Within ±0.1 mm
(3) Soft polyurethane tube: 0.15 mm, within -0.2 mm
Do not use tubing which does not meet these outside diameter tolerances.
It may not be possible to connect them, or they may cause other trouble, such as air leakage or the tube pulling
out after connection.
4. Tube O.D. ø2
Tubing other than that from SMC cannot be used, as it may not be possible to connect to the product.
5. Piping
(1) Allow a sufficient margin of tube length when piping, in order to prevent twisting, tensile, moment loads,
vibration or impact being applied to the tubes and fittings.
This can cause damage to the tube fittings and crushing, bursting or disconnection of tubing.
(2) Piping to the product is assumed to be static piping.
If the tube moves, it may become worn, elongated or torn due to tensile forces, or disconnected from the
fitting. Ensure the tube is in a static condition at all times before using.
(3) Prevent the connected tube from being rotated.
If the fittings are used in this way, the fitting may be broken.
(4) Do not lift the product by holding the piping after the tube is connected to the vacuum (V) port.
Otherwise, the filter case and/or the One-touch tube fitting will be damaged.
