Specific Product Precautions

Design/Selection

Warning

  1. Check the specifications.
    The products in this catalog are designed to be used in compressed air systems (including vacuum) only.
    If the products are used in an environment where pressure or temperature is out of the specified range, damage and/or malfunction may result. Do not use under such conditions. (Refer to the specifications.)
    Please consult with SMC when using a fluid other than compressed air (including vacuum). We do not guarantee against any damage if the product is used outside of the specification range.

  2. Do not disassemble the product or make any modifications, including additional machining.
    It may cause human injury and/or an accident.

  3. Check if PTFE can be used in application.
    PTFE powder (Polytetrafluoroethylene resin) is included in the sealant. Confirm that the use of it will not cause any adverse affect on the system.

Caution

  1. Keep the connection part of fittings and tubing from rotating or oscillating movement. The fittings may be damaged if they are used in the above manner.

  2. The tubing bending radius in the vicinity of the fitting should be at least the minimum bending radius of the tubing.
    If the bending radius is less than the min. value, fittings may damage, or tubing may crack or be crushed. The minimum bending radius, with the exception of TS soft nylon tubing, TU polyurethane tubing, TUH hard polyurethane tubing, TUS soft polyurethane tubing, TRBU FR double layer polyurethane tubing, TH FEP tubing, TL PFA tubing, TD modified PTFE tubing, is measured as following in accordance with JIS B 8381.
    Tubing deformation ratio at the minimum bending radius is obtained through the following formula, based on tubing diameter and mandrel diameter by wrapping the same radius mandrel tube. SMC-KQB2-Series-Metal-One-Touch-Fittings-FIG
1

  3. Do not use fluids other than listed in the specifications.
    Applicable fluids are air, N2,water and steam. Please consult with SMC if using other fluids.

  4. When it is used with water, the fittings or tubing may be damaged depending on the surge pressure.

  5. The surge pressure must be under the maximum operating pressure. If the surge pressure exceeds the maximum operating pressure, it will result in damage to fittings and tubing or the tubing may result in being fallen out.

  6. If using a fluororesin tubing in an environment where the fluid temperature changes drastically, it is recommended to use an inner sleeve. Otherwise, air leakage may occur or the tube may release from fitting due to deformation of the tubing.

  7. The particle generation of the KQB2 series depends on the operating conditions and operating environment. If you are concerned about the effects on machinery and equipment, check the particle generation with your machine before use. The components of the KQB2 series may slide due to changes in the internal pressure, which may generate particles. When using male elbow, male branch tee, and extended male elbow fittings, particles may be generated by rotation for positioning after connecting.

Mounting/Piping
Warning
  1. Operation manual
    Install the products and operate them only after reading the operation manual carefully and understanding its contents. Also, keep the manual where it can be referred to as necessary.

  2. Ensure sufficient space for maintenance activities.
    When installing the products, allow access for maintenance.

  3. Adhere to the thread tightening method.
    When installing the products, refer to “Connection Thread Tightening Method”.

  4. There may be cases of the tubing detaching from the fitting and thrashing around uncontrollably due to tubing degradation or fitting breakage.
    To prevent the situation from becoming uncontrollable, fit the tubing with a protective cover or fix it in place.

Mounting/Piping

Caution

  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 sealant tape
    When screwing together pipes and fittings, etc., be certain that chips from the pipe threads and sealant does not get inside the pipe.
    Also, when the sealant tape is used, leave approx. 1 thread ridges exposed at the end of the threads.

  3. Check the model, type and size before installation.
    Also, confirm that there are no scratches, gouges or cracks on the product.

  4. When connecting the tubing, take pressure or possible changes to the tubing length into account, and allow a sufficient margin. Failure to do so may result in fitting breakage or detachment of the tubing. Refer to the recommended piping conditions.

  5. Do not apply unnecessary forces such as twisting, pulling, moment loads, vibration and impact, etc. on fittings or tubing.
    This will cause damage to fittings and will crush,burst or release tubing.

  6. Tubing, with the exception of coiled tubing, requires stationary installation. Do not use standard tubing (non-coiled) in applications where tubing is required to travel. Tubing that travels may sustain abrasion, extension, or severance due to tensile force, or may result in removal of tubing from fitting. Use caution prior to use for proper application.

  7. To install the fitting, screw the fitting into the hexagonal face of the body, and tighten with an appropriate wrench.
    Affix the wrench at the base of the thread. If the size of hexagonal face and wrench do not match, or tightening takes place near the tube side, it may cause collapse or deformation of the hexagonal face, or damage to the equipment. After installing, confirm that there is no damage to the fitting, etc.

  8. When performing the piping work, turn the tightening tool in the horizontal direction to the hex. across flats of the stud so that any moment is not applied to the body.
    If the tool is in contact with the body, this may cause the stud to come off .SMC-KQB2-Series-Metal-One-Touch-Fittings-FIG 3

  9. The union elbow, union tee, union “Y”, different diameter tee and different diameter union “Y” should be fixed through the mounting hole.
    Otherwise, air leakage or breaking can occur due to a pulling force or moment load created by the product’s weight.

  10. The male elbow, male branch tee, and extended male elbow can be turned for positioning after connecting, but they cannot be used while turning them.
    Doing so may cause worn out metallic particles to enter the fluid or the fitting to break.

  11. If the connection tube oscillates or turns, do not use this product.
    Doing so may cause the fitting to break. In particular, for the product with the stud, this may cause the stud to come off.

Air Supply

Warning

  1. Type of fluids
    Please consult with SMC when using the product in applications other than compressed air. Regarding products for general fluids, please contact SMC concerning applicable fluids.

  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 droplet separator should be installed upstream from filters.

  3. Drain flushing
    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. It causes malfunction of pneumatic equipment. If the drain bowl is difficult to check and remove, installation of a drain bowl with an auto drain option is recommended.
    For details on the above compressed air quality, refer to SMC’s Best Pneumatics catalog.

  4. Use clean air.
    Do not use compressed air that contains chemicals, synthetic oils including organic solvents, salt or corrosive gases, etc., as it can cause damage or malfunction.

Caution

  1. Install an air filter.
    Install an air filter at the upstream side of valve. Select an air filter with a filtration degree of 5μm or finer.

  2. Install an aftercooler, air dryer or water droplet separator, etc.
    Compressed air that contains a large amount of drainage can cause malfunction of pneumatic equipment. Therefore, take appropriate measures to ensure air quality, such as by providing an aftercooler, air dryer, or water droplet separator.

  3. Ensure that the fluid and ambient temperature are within the specified range. If the fluid temperature is 5℃ 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.
    For details on the above compressed air quality, refer to SMC’s Best Pneumatics catalog.

Operating Environment

Warning

Mounting/Piping of One-touch Fittings

Caution

Installation and removal of tubing for One-touch fittings

  • a) Installation of tubing
1. Cut the tubing perpendicularly, being careful not to damage the outside surface. Use an SMC tube cutter TK-1, 2, 3, 5 or 6. Do not cut the tubing with pliers, nippers, scissors, etc., otherwise, the tubing will be deformed and trouble may result.
2. The outside diameter of the polyurethane tubing swells when internal pressure is applied to it. Therefore, it may be possible that the tubing cannot be re-inserted into the One-touch fitting. Check the tubing outside diameter, and when the accuracy of the outside diameter is +0.15mm or larger, insert into the One-touch fitting again, without cutting the tubing to use it. When the tubing is re-inserted into the One-touch fitting, confirm that the tubing goes through the release button smoothly.
3. Grease is not used for the KQB2 series, therefore a greater insertion force is required when the tube is installed. In particular, polyurethane tubing may fold when inserted due to its softness. Hold the end of the tubing, and insert it all the way in slowly and securely. Refer to dimension “M” in the dimension drawings for guidance on the insertion depth of tube.
4. Grasp the tubing, slowly push it straight (0 to 5o) into the One-touch fitting until it comes to a stop.
5. Pull the tubing back gently to make sure it has a positive seal. Insufficient installation may cause air to leak or the tubing to release.  

As a guide for checking the tubing is not pulled out, refer to the following table.Tubing size| Tensile force of tubing (N)
---|---
φ3.2, 1/8”| 5
φ4, 5/32”| 8
φ6, 1/4”| 12
φ8, 5/16”| 20
φ10, 3/8”| 30
φ12, 1/2”| 35
φ16| 50

  • b)Removal of tubing
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. Pull out the tubing while keeping the release button depressed. If the release button is not held down sufficiently, the tubing cannot be withdrawn.
3. To reuse the tubing, remove the previously lodged portion of the tubing. If the lodged portion is left on without being removed, it may result in air leakage and removal of the tubing difficult.
4. For tubing used at a high temperature or for an extended period of time, there is a possibility that it will not fit into a One-touch fitting again due to an enlarged O.D. Dispose of the tubing and replace it with a new one.
  • Connecting products with metal rods
    Products with metal rods (Series KC, Series KQ2, old Series KQ, Series KN, and Series KM, etc.) cannot be connected to series KQB2/Metal One-touch fittings. If connected, the metal rod cannot be retained by the chuck of the One-touch fitting and products with metal rods may project during pressurization, causing serious personal injury or accident.
    Even when products with metal rods can be connected to One-touch fittings, do not use any tube, resin plug, or reducer after connection. This may cause releasing.
    For details about One-touch fittings that can connect products with metal rods, contact SMC.
Connection Thread Tightening Method

Caution

  1. Connection thread: M5 and 10-32UNF
    First, tighten by hand, then use a wrench appropriate for the hexagon flats of the body to tighten an additional 1/6 to 1/4 turn.
    A reference value for the tightening torque is 1 to 1.5 N·m.
    Note) Excessive tightening may damage the thread portion or deform the gasket and cause air leakage. Insufficient tightening may loosen the threads, or cause air leakage.

  2. Connection thread: R, NPT
    First, tighten the fitting by hand, then use a wrench appropriate for the hexagon flats of the body to tighten it a further two or three turns. For a tightening torque guide, see the table below.
    If the fitting is tightened with excessive, this may cause the fitting to break. In particular, for the product with the stud, the stud may come off.Connection

---|---
NPT、R1/8| 3 to 5
NPT、R1/4| 8 to 12
NPT、R3/8| 15 to 20
NPT、R1/2| 20 to 25
3. If the fitting is tightened with excessive torque, a large amount of sealant will seep out. Remove the excess sealant. 4. Insufficient tightening may cause seal failure, or loosen the threads. 5. Reuse

  • a) Normally, fittings with a sealant can be reused 2 to 3 times.
    b) To prevent air leakage through the sealant, remove any loose sealant stuck to the fitting by blowing air over the threaded portion.
    c) If the sealant no longer provides effective sealing, wrap sealing tape over the sealant before reusing. Do not use the sealant in any form other than a tape type.
  1. Once the fitting has been tightened, backing it out to its original position often causes the sealant to become defective. Air leakage will occur.
  2. Connection thread: G
    Tighten fittings with sealant using the proper tightening torques in the table below.Connection
