Q2 My TOYOFUSSO Hose does not have a line printed on it like the products shown on your website. Is there any difference in performance? Specification
A.

We switched the outer material for TOYOFUSSO Hose from soft PVC to polyurethane beginning with products produced in November 2018. Products since then have a line (image line) printed on them. This improved heat resistance performance from 70°C to 80°C.

Q3 Are your silicone hoses compliant with Food Sanitation Act No. 196 (PL System)? Can you provide a certificate of compliance? Laws and regulations
A.

Food Sanitation Act No. 196 (PL System) applies to synthetic plastic. This does not include silicon rubber. Toyox silicone hoses are compliant with Food Sanitation Act No. 595. Certificates of compliance are available for download by registered members (free).

Q4 Can the TOYOSILICONE Hose handle conveying steam? Fluid
A.

No, the TOYOSILICONE is not designed for steam. The TOYOSILICONE Hose can handle up to 130℃ and 0.2 MPa of pressure, but this should be limited to short periods of time for sterilization purposes, and continuous use should be avoided. In addition, temperature and other conditions vary depending on product, so be sure to check the precautionary material for details.

Q5 I would like to know the guideline for replacing the hose. Specification
A.

It depends on the usage environment and usage conditions (fluid, temperature, pressure, size, hose type, etc.). Check for deformation, hardening, discoloration, leakage, etc. by pre-start inspection and regular inspection, and replace or maintain if necessary. There is also a method to set the scheduled replacement date based on the initial replacement period and the past replacement frequency.

coupling

Q1 Can you help me select the size of a barb nipple coupling for a hose? Connection
A.

For Toyox hoses, Toyox dedicated couplings are the best. If a genuine Toyox coupling is not provided , use a barb nipple available for purchase on the market. When selecting a barb nipple, ensure that it is appropriate for the size of the hose. It should not be used if it there is any damage or rust on the surface, and round the edges as much as possible before use.

Q2 What is the guaranteed pressure for the TOYOCONNECTOR? Function and performance
A.

TOYOCONNECTOR Series is couplings dedicated for TOYOX Hoses. The warranty covers the operating pressure range of a compatible hose. However, there are temperature conditions depending on the type of TOYOCONNECTOR. Also, the material’s resistance varies depending on the fluid, so check the coupling details, chemical resistance data, etc.

Q3 Can the TOYOCONNECTOR be used for other companies’ hoses? Connection
A.

TOYOCONNECTOR Series is couplings dedicated for TOYOX Hoses. Connectability with other companies’ hoses is not guaranteed. Refer to the detailed page of the corresponding TOYOCONNECTOR for compatible hoses.* Compatible hoses and sizes vary depending on the TOYOCONNECTOR part number.

Q4 When using the Easy Connecting Joint with a HITRUN Hose, HR-6 and HR-8 have dedicated couplings, but what about HR-11 or HR-13? Connection
A.

Dedicated couplings are not available. Instead, use the following couplings. For the HITRUN Hose, use of common cap nut type couplings may cause the hose to come off or the inner piping to be cut. Be sure to use the Easy Connecting Joint that uses a hose band to tighten the barb nipple. Example: Nitto Kohki 30SH/PH, 40SH/PH

Q5 I would like to know the replacement guideline for the dedicated couplings for TOYOX hoses (TOYOCONNECTOR FERRULE Type). Other
A.

The TOYOCONNECTOR FERRULE Type coupling is not designed for regular disassembly cleaning. When reusing TOYOCONNECTOR, replace the dedicated replacement sleeve with a new one. Also, please make sure to use a brand-new hose. While the TOYOCONNECTOR FERRULE Type varies depending on the usage conditions, consider five disassemblies a rough guideline for replacing with a new coupling.

kamlok

Q1 Can the gasket be replaced? Is it also possible to replace the gaskets specified at the time of purchase? Gasket
A.

Gaskets are consumable items. They can be replaced by the customer. It is also possible to replace with the gasket specified at the time of purchase. Specify when making order.

Q2 The 633-A, 633-F, 633-B and 633-D engraved on the KAMLOK body don’t have products with the same part number in the catalog or website. Are they discontinued? Model lineup
A.

These engravings are old type. The stamps are currently the same for those made of bronze. The current product engravings and part numbers are as follows.

Q3 I want to learn how to install the KAMLOK gasket. I’m trying to install a Teflon jacket gasket, but it’s tight on the side. Is it safe to push it in? Gasket
A.

Forcibly inserting it may cause streaks and deformation in the Teflon part, which may cause leakage. To install the gasket, immerse it in hot water at 80°C for 10-15 seconds (increasing flexibility) and firmly insert the gasket diagonally along the streaks (including the filler part). When purchasing a new product, gasket replacement can also be provided, so consult with the supplier.

Q4 Is KAMLOK available in NPT thread type? Connection
A.

We do not carry NPT thread type. All products are PT thread type.

Q5 What is the working temperature range of KAMLOK? Specification
A.

The working temperature range of KAMLOK depends on that of the gasket. With that said, the maximum working temperature for KAMLOK models made from polypropylene (PP) is 60°C.

hose clamp

Q1 Do you separately sell safety caps for safety bands? Can it be attached to the band edge of other companies’ hose bands? Part
A.

Safety caps for safety bands are not sold separately. In addition, you cannot attach a safety cap to the tip of another manufacturer’s hose band. In addition, do not use the product once the safety cap has been removed.

Q2 What is the maximum tightening torque in the safety band specification table? Is there data on the optimal torque when tightening the hose? Specification
A.

The maximum tightening torque in the band specification table is guaranteed by the manufacturer. Exceeding it may cause damage or the band tightening function to deteriorate. There is no proper torque value. There are many hose hardnesses, wall thicknesses and coupling types. Setting up is difficult as it depends on which part of the barb to be attached. To solve such issues, we offer special couplings for tightening cap nuts called TOYOCONNECTOR that do not require torque management.

Q3 When attaching a hose to a nipple with a clamp, where should the clamp be placed? How to use
A.

To securely connect the parts, fasten the clamp in the middle of the peak of the barb, above the depression. Do not fasten it immediately below the hexagonal area of the nipple. We recommend using two clamps if the hose size is greater than 1″ (25mm).

Q4 Are the TOYOX hose bands compatible with RoHS2? Laws and regulations
A.

All hose bands are RoHS2 compatible. Certificates are available if necessary. Necessary survey reports can be downloaded by registering as a member. Feel free to use them as needed.
