Tube Series

Common Safety Instructions for Tubes Be sure to read following instructions before selecting and using the VAC devices. Also read the detailed instructions for individual series.

!

Warning

1. Do not give excessive tension, twist or bending to the Tube. Such forces may cause the crushing, breakage or falling out of the Tube. 2. Protect the Tube against damage from abrasion or twining. Otherwise the Tube may break. 3. Never use tubes other than spatter tube where the tube is exposed to spatter. Spatter can cause fire. 4. For the usage of VAC Tubes, please use VAC fittings or the one in accordance with Industrial standards. 5.

When the water is used in certain condition, be careful not to let water freeze.

6. Please avoid using the tubes having cracks, surface damage, collapsed, kinked parts and so forth. 7. The tubes cannot be used for active gas such as oxygen, hydrogen, LPG and so forth. 8. There is no guarantee for the tubes treated by someone except VAC. 9. The burst pressure of tubes depend upon the temperature, so always refer to the graph showing the relationship between temperature and maximum running pressure. 10. Never use tubes other than antistatic tube where the system must be protected from static electricity or charging. Static electricity may cause malfunction and other troubles with the system.

!

Caution

1. When bending the tube, observe the minimum radius requirement. 2. In piping, provide sufficient lengths of tube in consideration of possible shrinkage. 3. Before connecting a tube to the fitting, make certain that the tube end is cut at right angles, the tube is free from flaws, and the tube cross section is not elliptical. 4. Note that the effective sectional area changes with tube length. For long piping, be sure to choose a proper effective sectional are for piping by consulting the below chart.

Polyurethane Re-Coiled Hoses

VAC Polyurehtane recoil tubing is perfectly suited for installations requiring flexibility within a reduced space, thanks to its small coil diameters. Straightened extremities and good resistance to shocks and abrasion enable safe and easy manipulation of pneumatic machinery. Advantages • Extremely flexible - resists kinking • Impervious to abrasions, heat and oil • Superior elasticity and coil memory • Working length is 1.25 x tube length • Very small bending radius and tight coil diameter economizes on work and storage space • 25% lighter than rubber - easy handling • Highly resistant to wear - five times the life of rubber • Low tension - easy to work which eases user fatigue Applications Pneumatic control and power lines, Air tools, Assembly workstations, Laboratories, Electronic assemblies, Robotics, Machine tools, Instrumentation etc.
