| The hose is greatly affected by ambient
and fluid temperatures. Select the right hose that is best
suited for those temperatures. |
| 1. |
Use the hose within its specified operating temperature
range and below its maximum operating pressure. |
| 2. |
Avoid using the hose at its upper limits if the fluid (chemicals,
acid and alkaline solutions, oils and paints) might be harder
or swell the hose violently. Consult us in advance if you
handle toxic chemicals, high-temperature acid or alkaline
solution or the like. |
| 3. |
On using the hose in a coating line, select the electro-conductive
air hose "PAINT HOSE PB TYPE" (with a grounding
wire) to prevent static-caused fire and other hazards. |
| Do not bend the hose more than its minimum
bending radius. Otherwise the hose may get degraded and shorten
its service life. If you do not see the hose's minimum bending
radius in the product catalog or handling instructions, contact
us. |
| Keep the following points in mind when connecting
the hose. |
| 1. |
The hose expands and shrinks under an internal pressure.
Give it some safety allowance. |
| 2. |
Be careful not to extremely bend the hose close to its connecting
fixture. The hose may get degraded earlier. |
| 3. |
Be careful not to give the hose an impact and let any vehicle
or anything heavy roll over the hose. If the hose may touch
a metallic, concrete and other hard edge or may come in contact
with anything else by vibrations or bending, protect it with
cushion, tube, cover, wire, spring or the like. |
| If the hose is applied for a vibrating or
shock-prone system, avoid using it at its upper operating
pressure limit. |
| Before each use, make sure the hose is not
twisted nor broken. |
| 1. |
When inserting the fixture's coupler, do not apply oil
and fat to the hose and the coupler, nor warm them direct
over a flame. If it is hard to insert, warm the hose in lukewarm
water and insert the fixture. |
| 2. |
Select the right fixture that fits the hose. Insert the
coupler fully into the hose. |
| 3. |
Tighten the fixture at the center of the coupler to its
specified torque. Bear in mind that the hose may get somewhat
soft at high temperatures. |
| 4. |
Do not overtighten the hose using a steel wire instead of
the specified hose band, nor hit the hose band hard with a
hammer or the like, nor use a scratched or rusty fixture.
The hose may get damaged, causing a rupture. |
| 5. |
Even with the fixture properly connected, the plastic part
may suffer permanent distortion, which may cause fluid leak,
fixture come-off or hose rupture. For the correct type of
fixture and the materials and characteristics of the hose,
contact us. |
| 1. |
Before daily use, be sure to look at the hose carefully
for anything unusual. |
| 2. |
Be sure to fully inspect the hose once a month. |
| 3. |
If any of the following problems is encountered at daily
or periodic inspection, immediately stop using the hose and
replace it with new one. |
| |
1. Local
elongation, swell, bend or fluid leak at and around the metallic
part
2. Scratches, cracks,
water seepage into the reinforcement
3. Separation between
the inner and outer tubes
4. Noticeable degradation
（ hardening, cracks, swelling, etc. ）
5. Stickiness |
| After use, remove all residues off the hose, wash it with
water, and store it in a well-ventilated place where the hose
is not exposed to direct sunlight. Do not store the hose extremely
bent, piled up or under something heavy. |

Notification No. 370 of the Welfare Ministry gives the Food
Sanitation Act and the food additives standards, whereas Notification
No. 20 specifies the requirements of safety tests of synthetic
resin-made utensils and containers. These notifications, however,
do not stipulate any criteria of odor and smells which may
be different from person to person. |
