Series VCHR
Specific Product Precautions
Be sure to read before handling. Refer to front matters 42 and 43 for Safety Precautions
and pages 287 to 291 for Precautions on every series.

Adjustment

Caution
1. When adjusting the outlet side pressure, mo-
ment is applied on the adjusting bolt. Support
it separately so that moment is not applied to
the external pipings.
Reference for Handle Moment Unit: N폷m
Set pressure 1 MPa 2 MPa 3 MPa 4 MPa 5 MPa
Torque 3 6 9 12 15

2. When adjusting the outlet side pressure, the

adjusting bolt (32 mm width across flats) can
be fixed with a wrench. A screwdriver of ap-
proximately 20 to 30 cm can also be used for
easy adjustments, using the (ø11) hole on the
width across flats.

Piping

Warning
1. When tightening a screw on the piping materi-
al, use the recommended torque, holding the
female side.
Insufficient torque will cause looseness or inferior sealing. How-
ever, overtightening will cause damage to the thread. Also, tight-
ening without holding the female side will put excessive direct
stress on brackets, etc., resulting in damage, etc.
Recommended Tightening Torque Unit: N폷m
Connecting thread 3/4 1 1폷1/2
Torque 28 to 30 36 to 38 48 to 50

Disassembly

Caution
1. This product cannot be disassembled since it
is made of precision components with a spe-
cific tolerance.
