Tube Series

Common Safety Instructions for Tubes

Be sure to read following instructions before selecting and using the VAC devices. Also read the detailed
instructions for individual series.

Warning

1. Do not give excessive tension, twist or bending to the Tube. Such forces may cause the crushing, breakage
or falling out of the Tube.
2. Protect the Tube against damage from abrasion or twining. Otherwise the Tube may break.
3. Never use tubes other than spatter tube where the tube is exposed to spatter. Spatter can cause fire.
4. For the usage of VAC Tubes, please use VAC fittings or the one in accordance with Industrial standards.
5.

When the water is used in certain condition, be careful not to let water freeze.

6. Please avoid using the tubes having cracks, surface damage, collapsed, kinked parts and so forth.
7. The tubes cannot be used for active gas such as oxygen, hydrogen, LPG and so forth.
8. There is no guarantee for the tubes treated by someone except VAC.
9. The burst pressure of tubes depend upon the temperature, so always refer to the graph showing the
relationship between temperature and maximum running pressure.
10. Never use tubes other than antistatic tube where the system must be protected from static electricity or
charging. Static electricity may cause malfunction and other troubles with the system.

Caution

1. When bending the tube, observe the

minimum radius requirement.
2. In piping, provide sufficient lengths of tube
in consideration of possible shrinkage.
3. Before connecting a tube to the fitting, make
certain that the tube end is cut at right
angles, the tube is free from flaws, and the
tube cross section is not elliptical.
4. Note that the effective sectional area changes
with tube length. For long piping, be sure to
choose a proper effective sectional are for
piping by consulting the below chart.
