hose

Q1 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.

Q2 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.

Q3 Are the TOYOX hoses compatible with RoHS2? Laws and regulations
A.

All hoses (standard products) are RoHS2 compatible. Survey reports are available if necessary. Necessary survey reports can be downloaded by registering as a member. Feel free to use them as needed.

Q5 What is the difference between TOYORON Hose, SUPER TOYORON Hose, and HYPER TOYORON Hose? Function and performance
A.

The difference between TOYORON Hose and SUPER TOYORON Hose is the difference in oil resistance of the hose outer skin, and SUPER TOYORON Hose is more oil resistant. HYPER TOYORON Hose is a hose that is more oil resistant to the inner tube and outer skin than TOYORON Hose and SUPER TOYORON Hose.

HYPER TOYORON Hose

Q1 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.

Q2 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.

Q3 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

Q4 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.

Q5 I would like to know the subsequent product to the W-SAFETY Nipple Set (WFSN). Model lineup
A.

The W-SAFETY Nipple Set (WFSN) will be discontinued. The subsequent product will be TOYOCONNECTOR couplings (dedicated to TOYOX Hose) that can securely connect the hose.

kamlok

Q1 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.

Q2 Is KAMLOK available in NPT thread type? Connection
A.

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

Q3 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.

Q4 Is the KAMLOK adapter 633-AB-3/4 available with a different thread diameter of 1/2? Connection
A.

The KAMLOK adapter 633-AB-1/2 has internal thread diameter of 1/2. Only KAMLOK 1/2 and 3/4 have the same fitting size, and available screw standards are 1/2 and 3/4. *Except products made of PP The same applies to 633-FB.

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

It varies depending on the body material and size. With that said, the working pressure of the hose needs to be taken into account when connecting the hose. Please also be aware that even if the pressure applied is within the working range of the hose, pressure may be released if depending on the clamps situation.

hose clamp

Q1 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.

Q2 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).

Q3 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.

Q4 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.

We provide a wide range of support from selecting ideal products for specific usage conditions to downloading certificates regarding laws and regulations, as well as downloading of materials such as catalogs.
