hose

Q1 Can silicone oil be run through the TOYOSILICONE Hose? Fluid
A.

This will not result in damage to the hose, though it may stick to the outside surface. We cannot, however, guarantee the TOYOSILICONE Hose for uses above 70℃.

Q2 Why can’t I use hot water over 100 °C for TOYOSILICONE Hose? Function and performance
A.

Due to the characteristics of the TOYOSILICONE Hose, it is a material with higher gas permeability (porous) than vinyl hoses. If high-temperature water exceeding 100 degrees is used, the steam of the high temperature water will permeate the inner pipe of the hose, which may easily damage the reinforcement thread and reduce the hose pressure resistance performance. The hose that can flow hot water up to 140 °C is the TOYOSILICONE Steam Hose.

Q3 A round hole like a crater appeared in the hose while in use. Please tell me the cause so I can avoid this kind of problem in the future. Function and performance
A.

Pinholes likely formed in areas where the hose material had softened and weakened due to high temperatures. If a pinhole rupture occurs, first check whether the fluid and atmospheric temperatures are within the operating temperature ranges for the hose you are using. If operating temperature ranges are exceeded, take measures such as switching to a heat-resistant hose with a more suitable temperature range. Feel free to contact Toyox for assistance in making a selection.

Q4 How should I cut a Toyox hose, and what tools will I need? Service
A.

The cutting method will differ depending on the thickness and type of the hose. We demonstrate some of the various methods and tools in our video “How to Cut a Toyox Hose.”

Q5 What is the reinforcement material used in the TOYOFOODS-S? Will it rust? Specification
A.

The reinforcing material of the TOYOFOODS-S Hose is made of hard iron wire that’s prone to rusting. Avoiding wetting the ends while using the hose. Contact us for products that use a rust resistant reinforcing material.

Q1 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

Q2 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.

Q3 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.

Q4 What order form and units are used for TOYOSILICONE Hose crimped products? Other
A.

These are made-to-order products with delivery dates. Specify the coupling type, hose diameter, length and quantity when placing an order.

Q5 Are there different-diameter types of TOYOCONNECTOR for reduced size? Model lineup
A.

There are no different-diameter couplings for TOYOCONNECTOR. There should be a method of adjusting and installing using general different-diameter bushings or the like in the thread part.

kamlok

Q1 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.

Q2 I want to mount the Dust Plug 634-A to the KAMLOK 633-DB-1/2. Do the 1/2 and 3/4 KAMLOK have the same fitting? Connection
A.

KAMLOK’s mating size is shared between 1/2 and 3/4 sizes. Therefore, the 1/2 and 3/4 sizes of the dust plug and dust cap are the same.

Q3 How do I attach the fall prevention chain (sold separately) to the KAMLOK 634-B (dust cap)? Specification
A.

Use the round connecting hole or the ring at the end of the arm.

Q4 Is a plane figure available for KAMLOK? Service
A.

PDF drawings are available for download from the product page. CAD drawings are available for download by registered members (free).

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

If the cam arm of the KAMLOK COUPLER feels loose or the liquid oozes, it is an indication to replace the gasket. If the cam arm feels loose even after replacing the gasket, it is due to wear, so replace it with a new KAMLOK adapter.

Q1 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.

Q2 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.

Q3 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.

Q4 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).

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.

You can download useful materials that address issues such as “leaks and disconnections”, “energy-saving measures”, and “odor and coloration.”

We use videos to introduce the benefits of using products and how to install them, which may be difficult to understand just using text and illustrations.

We have compiled frequently asked questions from customers in the “FAQ” section.

To assist you in making selections, we provide common examples of improvements for hoses and couplings through industry-based case studies.
