Q: What are the improvements and benefits of the SMC Elbow Type/Universal Type/Push-lock Type AS fittings in terms of ease of use and functionality?
A: The SMC Elbow Type/Universal Type/Push-lock Type AS fittings offer several improvements that enhance user experience and functionality. The easy-to-lock push-lock design, along with the larger knob, makes the fittings more user-friendly and easier to handle. The insertion and removal forces of the tubing have been optimized, with a maximum reduction of 30% for insertion force and 20% for removal force, while ensuring that the tube removal strength is equivalent to the previous model. The electroless nickel-plated type is now standard, providing additional corrosion resistance. These fittings also allow for 360° swivel piping in the universal type, offering greater flexibility in piping layout. The availability of a restrictor and large flow type options further expands the range of applications where these fittings can be used effectively.
