2.4.2 Piping
• Use pipes that are made of corrosion-resistant materials after the filter such as zinc-plated pipes, nylon
tubes, and rubber tubes.
• Use pipes with an effective cross-sectional area that allows the cylinder to achieve the predetermined
piston speed.
• Install the filter for removing rust, foreign matters, and drainage from the piping as close as possible to the
solenoid valve.
• Observe the effective thread length for the gas pipes.
In addition, chamfer the threaded end of the pipes by about a 1/2 pitch.
• Before connecting the pipes, flush (air blow) the interiors of the pipes to remove foreign matters and
cutting chips.
