New-stand male threads for piping that reduces the screw-in time by 1/3.

Shape of Uni thread ridgeUse of the chamfered surface of the female thread as the seat surface and adoption of gaskets made by laminating NBR on both surfaces of stainless steel plates achieve secure sealing regardless of the difference of diameters due to the female thread type, deviations due to the tolerance, or the size of the chamfered corner. (Any standard chamfered female thread can be used.)

A ridge shape has beencreated as a Uni thread forcommon applications forRc, G, NPT and NPTF.

The gasket seal methoddrastically cuts pipingman-hours.

Design/Selection

Warning1. Check the specifications.

The products in this catalog are designed to be used in com-pressed 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 mal-function may result. Do not use under such conditions. (Refer to the specifications.)Please contact 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. The products in this catalog are not designed for the use as stop valve with zero air leakage.A certain amount of leakage is allowed in the product's specifi-cations.Tightening the needle to reduce leakage to zero may result in equipment damage.

3. Do not disassemble the product or make any modifi-cations, including additional machining.It may cause human injury and/or an accident.

4. The flow-rate characteristics for each product are representative values.The flow-rate characteristics are characteristics of eachindividual product. Actual values may differ depending on the piping, circuitry, pressure conditions, etc.

5. Sonic conductance (C) and critical pressure ratio (b) values for products are representative values.The speed controller’s controlled flow values are with the needle fully open and free flow with the needle fully closed.

6. Check if PTFE can be used in application.PTFE powder (Polytetrafluoroethylene resin) is included in the seal material for piping taper thread of male thread type. Con-firm that the use of it will not cause any adverse effect on the system.Please contact SMC if the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is required.

Mounting

Warning1. Operation manual

Install the products and operate them only after reading the opera-tion 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. Tighten threads with the proper tightening torque.When installing the products, follow the listed proper torque.

4. After pushing the handle down to lock, confirm that it is locked.It should not be possible to rotate the handle to the right or to the left. If the handle is pulled with force, it may break. Do not pull the handle with excessive force.

5. Check the degree of rotation of the needle valve.The products in this catalog are retainer type so that the nee-dle is not removed completely. Over rotation will cause dam-age.

6. Do not use tools such as pliers to rotate the handle.It can cause idle rotation of the handle or damage.

7. Verify the air flow direction.Mounting backward is dangerous, because the speed adjust-ment needle will not work and the actuator may lurch suddenly.

8. Adjust the speed by opening the needle slowly from the fully closed state.Loose needle valves may cause unexpected sudden actuator lurching.When a needle valve is turned clockwise, it is closed and actu-ator speed decreases. When a needle valve is turned counter-clockwise, it is open and actuator speed increases.

9. Do not apply excessive force or shock to the body or fittings with an impact tool.It can cause damage or air leakage.

Refer to the Fittings & Tubing Precautions of Best Pneumatics No. 6 for handling One-touch fittings.

Tubing O.D. ø2Tubing other than that from SMC cannot be used, because it may result in inability to connect the tube, air leakage after connecting the tube or disconnection of the tube.

To install/remove the product, use an appropriate wrench to tighten/loosen at the supplied nut on body B.Do not apply torque at other points as the product may be damaged. Rotate body A manually for positioning after installa-tion.

Warning

For M5, 10-32UNF

For R, NPT (With sealant)

Tightening methodFirst, tighten it by hand, then give it an additional 1/6 turn to 1/4 turn with a wrench. 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.If the screw is too shallowly screwed in, it may come loose or air may leak.

Chamfered area for female thread1. Confirming to ISO 16030 (air pressure fluid dynamics – con-

nection – ports and stud ends), the chamfer dimensions shown below are recommended.

Tightening method1. The proper tightening torques of the fittings are as shown in

the table below. As a guide, tighten by hand, then turn it two or three turns with a wrench. Check the dimensions of each product for the hexagon width across flats.

Chamfered area for female threadBy chamfering as shown in the following table, machining of threads is easier and effective for burr prevention.

∗ For Uni thread, Rz 12.5 is necessary for sealing at the chamfered part.

Be sure to read before handling. Refer to back cover for Safety Instructions. For Flow Control Equipment Precautions, refer to “Handling Precaution for SMC Products” and the Operation Manual on SMC website, http://www.smcworld.com

Series ASSpecific Product Precautions 2

When performing the piping work, turn the tightening tool in the horizontal direction to the hexagon across flats of the body B so that any moment is not applied to the body A. If the tool is in contact with the body A, this may cause the body B to come off.

Carefully perform the piping work so that the tool is not in contact with the body A.

For G Thread (Packing Seal Type) For Uni Thread

Tightening method1. First, tighten the threaded portion by hand, then use a proper

wrench, which could be suitable for the width across flats of the hexagon body, to tighten it further at a wrench tightening angle shown in the table below. For a tightening torque guide, see the table below.

2. The gasket can be recycled up to 6 to 10 times.


∗ For Uni thread, Rz 12.5 is necessary for sealing at the chamfered part.

Tightening methodFirst, tighten the threaded portion by hand, then use a proper wrench, which could be suitable for the width across flats of the hexagon body, to tighten it further at a wrench tightening angle shown in the table below. For a tightening torque guide, see the table below. Check the dimensions of each product for the hexagon width across flats.

2. Use G external threads with G internal threads.

Chamfered area for female thread (Recommended value)1. Confirming to 16030-2001, the chamfered thread sizes shown

below are recommended. By chamfering as shown in the fol-lowing table, machining of threads is easier and effective for burr prevention.

Piping

Caution1. Refer to the Fittings & Tubing Precautions of Best

Pneumatics No. 6 for handling One-touch fittings.

2. Preparation before pipingBefore 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.

3. Wrapping of pipe tapeWhen screwing together pipes and fittings, etc., be certain that chips from the pipe threads and sealing material do not get inside the pipe.Also, when the pipe tape is used, leave approx. 1 thread ridges exposed at the end of the threads.

Caution1. If the fitting is tightened with excessive torque, a

large amount of sealant will seep out. Remove the excess sealant.

2. Insufficient tightening may loosen the threads, or cause air leakage.

3. Reuse1) Normally, fittings with a sealant can be reused 2 to 3 times.2) To prevent air leakage through the sealant, remove any

loose sealant stuck to the fitting by blowing air over the threaded portion.

3) If the sealant no longer provides effective sealing, wrap pipe tape over the sealant before reusing. Do not use the sealant in any form other than a tape type.

4. Once the fitting has been tightened, backing it out to its original position often causes the sealant to become defective. Air leakage will occur.

5. Use R external threads with Rc internal threads and NPT external threads with NPT internal threads.

Design/Selection

Warning1. Check the specifications.

The products in this catalog are designed to be used in com-pressed 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 mal-function may result. Do not use under such conditions. (Refer to the specifications.)Please contact 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. The products in this catalog are not designed for the use as stop valve with zero air leakage.A certain amount of leakage is allowed in the product’s specifications.Tightening the needle to reduce leakage to zero may result in equip-ment damage.

3. Do not disassemble the product or make any modifi-cations, including additional machining.It may cause human injury and/or an accident.

4. The flow-rate characteristics for each product are representative values.The flow-rate characteristics are characteristics of each indi-vidual product. Actual values may differ depending on the pip-ing, circuitry, pressure conditions, etc.

5. Sonic conductance (C) and critical pressure ratio (b) values for products are representative values. The speed controller’s controlled flow values are with the needle fully open and free flow with the needle fully closed.

6. Check if PTFE can be used in application.PTFE powder (Polytetrafluoroethylene resin) is included in the sealant for taper pipe thread of male thread type. Confirm that the use of it will not cause any adverse effect on the system.Please contact SMC if the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is required.

Mounting

Warning1. Operation manual

Install the products and operate them only after reading the opera-tion 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. Tighten threads with the proper tightening torque.When installing the products, follow the listed proper torque.

4. After pushing the handle down to lock, confirm that it is locked.It should not be possible to rotate the handle to the right or to the left. If the handle is pulled with force, it may break. Do not pull the handle with excessive force.

5. Check the degree of rotation of the needle valve.The products in this catalog are retainer type so that the needle is not removed completely. Over rotation will cause damage.

6. Do not use tools such as pliers to rotate the handle.It can cause idle rotation of the handle or damage.

7. Verify the air flow direction.Mounting backward is dangerous, because the speed adjust-ment needle will not work and the actuator may lurch suddenly.

8. Adjust the speed by opening the needle slowly from the fully closed state.Loose needle valves may cause unexpected sudden actuator lurching.When a needle valve is turned clockwise, it is closed and actu-ator speed decreases. When a needle valve is turned counter-clockwise, it is open and actuator speed increases.

9. Do not apply excessive force or shock to the body or fittings with an impact tool.It can cause damage or air leakage.

Refer to the Fittings & Tubing Precautions of Best Pneumatics No. 6 for handling One-touch fittings.To install/remove the product, use an appropriate wrench to tighten/loosen at the supplied nut on body B.Do not apply torque at other points as the product may be dam-aged. Rotate body A manually for positioning after installation.

Do not use body A and/or elbow body for applica-tions involving continuous rotation.Body A and the fitting section may be damaged.
