  • Page 16: Pipe Connections

    4 INSTALLATION 4.3.6 Pipe connections (1) Tubes to be used For use with master valves with one-touch joints, select tubes of the type specified by us: Soft nylon tubes (F-1500 Series) Urethane tubes (U-9500 Series) (2) For installation at a site that has spatters in the air, select incombustible tubes or metal pipes.
  • Page 17 4 INSTALLATION (6) Cutting a tube To cut a tube, use a tube cutter to cut the tube perpendicularly to the length of the tube. Inserting an obliquely cut end of a tube may cause air leakage. (7) Tube connections Do not bend a tube immediately at where it is connected to the joint but lead it out straight from the end of the joint for a length equal to or greater than the outside diameter of the tube.
