Specific Product Precautions
Be sure to read defore handling.
Refer to front matters 58 and 59 for Safety Instructions and pages 3 to 7 for 3/4/5 Port
Solenoid Valve Precautions.

Design Piping

Warning
1. Not suitable for use as a selector valve or a divider
valve.
The valve can malfunction due to air leakage.
2. Not suitable for negative pressure.
The valve can malfunction due to air leakage.
3. Do not supply air pressure from other ports than
1(P) port.
Air leakage may occur when the pressure is supplied from
other ports.
Caution
1. Ensure connection so that air is supplied to the
port “1(P)” port.
Air leakage may occur when the pressure is supplied from
other ports.
2. Note that in the case of the option of different
“1(P)” porting position, porting indication on the
body and flow direction by handle operation are
reversed.

Selection Environment

Warning Warning

air leakage and can not hold a stopping position. When it is
necessary to hold a stopping position, select an equipment to
prevent displacement and design the circuit.

Caution
1. Use in low temperature environments
The valve can be used at a temperature down to –5°C. Take
appropriate measures to avoid freezing of drainage, moisture,
etc.
2. Operation method
The valve must be switched to each position instantly and
securely. Stopping the handle halfway between the extreme
positions may cause malfunction.
