- Connecting Air Tank and Booster Regulator
(1) Accessory check: Check the items and the quantity of parts in the package shown in Table 2.
(Accessories are attached to the foot of the air tank.)
(2) Prepare tools: Prepare a hexagon wrench key. The hexagon wrench key
for VBA1 is with nominal size 4 and 6, for VBA2 with
nominal size 8, and for the drain port with nominal size 6.
: Tighten the optional safety valve and drain
valve with a monkey spanner.
(3) Change of the booster regulator OUT port plug
: Remove the hexagon socket head plug at the joint of the tank at the back side
of the booster regulator. (Remove any sealing agent left on the thread.)
: Mount the hexagon socket head plug to the OUT port on the front of the
booster regulator by applying the seal tape.
VBA1: Tightening torque of 12 to 14 Nm (R1/4)
VBA2: Tightening torque of 22 to 24 Nm (R3/8)
(4) O-ring
: Mount the O-ring in the groove on the joint of the tank at the back of the booster regulator.

(5) Mounting direction: When mounting the booster regulator VBA2 to the air tank VBA10A-*, the direction of IN of the
booster regulator and OUT of the air tank can be changed to suit the application. Align the direction
of the booster regulator IN port and the air tank OUT port when mounting the booster regulator VBA1.

WARNING
(1) Regular check
- The user of the air tank shall keep a record of maintenance by making a special equipment safety technical document.
- The use of a pressure vessel could lead to an unexpected accident due to external damage or internal corrosion
caused by drainage. Therefore, make sure to check periodically for external damage, or the extent of internal corrosion
through the port hole. An ultrasonic thickness indicator may also be used to check for any reduction in material
thickness.
(2) Drain discharge
- If the product is used with a large amount of drainage, the drainage could flow out, leading to equipment malfunction or
corrosion inside the tank. Perform drain flushing regularly.
