4. Precautions for the Installation of Additional Fittings Before or After the product
In order to ensure stable air flow, the piping upstream and downstream of the
product must be straight runs. If the product is installed either directly before or
after an elbow or control valve, unevenness in air flow may result in chattering
and unstable pressure.
To ensure stable air flow, it is recommended that the product be installed on
straight runs of piping, as illustrated below.
①
Inlet (primary side) of the product
NOTE: d = pipe diameter
Maintain a straight piping run
of
10 d or more
when a
manual valve, a strainer or
an elbow, etc. is installed.
(Example: if nominal size is
25 mm (1 in), have 250 mm
(10 in) or more)
Valve, Strainer,
Elbow, etc.
A-COS
10 d or more
Valve, Strainer,
Elbow, etc.
A-COS
Less
than
10 d
Maintain a straight piping run
of
30 d or more
when an
automated valve (on-off
valve) is installed.
(Example: if nominal size is
25 mm (1 in), have 750 mm
(30 in) or more)

Maintain a straight piping run
of
30 d or more
when
another pressure reducing
valve is installed. (Two-stage
pressure reduction)

②
Outlet (secondary side) of the
product
Maintain a straight piping run
of
15 d or more
when a
manual valve, a strainer or
an elbow, etc. is installed.
(Example: if nominal size is
25 mm (1 in), have 375 mm
(15 in) or more)
