(After discharge, do not forget to return the drain cock to its original position by tightening it clockwise.)
With auto drain: Normally, drain discharge is performed automatically when drain accumulates, so no action is required.
However, drain can be discharged by manual operation if needed.
Devices after the AM series filter do not actively remove water. The foreign matter which adheres to the element and then accumulates at the bottom of the case can be removed by draining it, but what can be removed is the oil mist or fine solid particles that weren’t caught by the main line filter.
As steam is a gas, it cannot be removed by filtering.
Note) Do not apply pressure higher than the max. display pressure to the pressure gauge during pressure adjustment; otherwise, the pressure gauge may be damaged.
ITV1000 series regulators do not use grease on the parts in contact with fluid.
ITV2000 and ITV3000 series regulators structurally require the use of grease, and therefore cannot be oil-free.
There are some special order products (for the painting industry) in which the grease has been changed to white Vaseline.
For details, contact your local SMC sales office.
When ordered with an “AC□□□” part number, brackets do not need to be ordered separately because the combination comes connected with a spacer with a bracket.
Note) Do not apply pressure higher than the max. display pressure to the pressure gauge during pressure adjustment; otherwise, the pressure gauge may be damaged.
Do not rotate it any further than this. Adjust the oil dripping amount as air is flowed. Note that the numbered scale markings are guidelines for adjusting the position and not indicators of the dripping amount.
Note) The AL10-A is adjusted by opening the needle at the front of the product.
Do not use the spacer (with a bracket) of the AC series unit for high-pressure specification (special order part number suffix “-X425”) products.
When assembling high-pressure special order products, AF20 to 60-*-A-X425 and AR20 to 60-*-B-X425, prepare a nipple for installation.
As fine oil particles of 2 μm or less do not easily adhere to the inner walls of piping, the AL430 is ideal for supplying oil mist to downstream equipment or for when you want to branch the piping on the outlet side.
The main target objects of such lubrication are bearings, chains, cutting machines, presses, etc.
The AL40 is a full-weight lubricator.

Self-align fittings do not have an insert part, so the flow resistance is minimal and it is ideal for large flow rates. Self-align fittings can also be used with soft copper pipes.
Note) For KF series fittings, it is necessary to select a model that matches not only the tube O.D. but also the tube I.D.
The KF series catalog can be found

Note 2) Do not use KK□ series S couplers with flammable or toxic substances or with steam.
Note 3) If the surge pressure is higher than the max. operating pressure, it may cause damage to the fitting or tube.
The type with stainless steel 316 as the body material in contact with fluid can also be used with fluids that do not corrode stainless steel 316 or with steam (150°C or less). However, the operating fluid temperature range is -5 to 80°C, (150°C or less for steam used with the stainless steel 316 type). Keep the ambient temperature at 80°C or less even when using with steam.
With meter-in control, the exhaust conditions do not affect operation, and the piston can start moving quickly. (Cylinder lurching can be prevented.)
However, the speed is not stable against load fluctuations, and it is easily affected by external forces, which makes vertical control difficult. In addition, the air cushion is difficult to use.
Note 2) Do not use combustible fluids, corrosive fluids, chemicals, poisonous gases, or seawater.
Note 3) Also, refer to the AP64 series check valve catalog, which can be found here. Be sure to check the precautions before considering this product.
In general, all you have to do is select a product according to the piping diameter of the exhaust port of the solenoid valve to which the silencer is to be mounted. However, be sure to select a product with a greater conductance (CV value and effective cross-sectional area) than the EXH port on the exhaust side of the solenoid valve, or a product with a larger exhaust flow rate.
New IZN10 series ionizers do not require a shielding sheet because countermeasures have been taken on the main unit.
Insulate the switch output and analog output wires so that they do not short-circuit.
We do not offer switch readjustment or repair. However, we can perform an inspection to check whether your digital pressure switch is operating within the specification range (and submit an inspection report) if needed.
Contact your local SMC sales office for details.
