Extra Port Blocks
An extra port block can be placed between
modules to provide two auxiliary 1/4 NPTF ports.
Its mounting position can be rotated to obtain the
most convenient operating orientation. If only
one auxiliary port is to be used, the unused port
must be closed with a pipe plug. (The inlet and
outlet are not threaded.)
Port Size
Part Number*
1/4 NPTF R-118-106-2
3/8 NPTF R-118-106-3
1/2 NPTF R-118-106-4
For BSPP threads, add a “W” suffix to the model number,
e.g., R-118-109-2FW.
Male and Female End Ports
Either male or female end ports can be
attached to threaded inlet and outlet
lines. This allows all modules of an FRL
assembly to be removed easily and
quickly without having to unthread the end
modules. The end ports are attached to the modules with clamps (see
at left). End ports can be included in an assembled FRL or ordered
separately by the following part numbers:

PRE-INSTALLATION or SERVICE
1. Before servicing a valve or other pneumatic component, be sure
that all sources of energy are turned off, the entire pneumatic system
is shut off and exhausted, and all power sources are locked out (ref:
OSHA 1910.147, EN 1037).
2. All ROSS products, including service kits and parts, should
be installed and/or serviced only by persons having training and
experience with pneumatic equipment. Because any installation
can be tampered with or need servicing after installation, persons
responsible for the safety of others or the care of equipment must
check every installation on a regular basis and perform all necessary
maintenance.
3. All applicable instructions should be read and complied with before
using any fluid power system in order to prevent harm to persons
or equipment. In addition, overhauled or serviced valves must be
functionally tested prior to installation and use.
4. Each ROSS product should be used within its specification limits. In
addition, use only ROSS parts to repair ROSS products. Failure to follow
these directions can adversely affect the performance of the product or
result in the potential for human injury or damage to property.
FILTRATION and LUBRICATION
5. Dirt, scale, moisture, etc. are present in virtually every air system.
Although some valves are more tolerant of these contaminants than
others, best performance will be realized if a filter is installed to clean
the air supply, thus preventing contaminants from interfering with the
proper performance of the equipment. ROSS recommends a filter
with a 5-micron rating for normal applications.
6. All standard ROSS filters and lubricators with polycarbonate plastic
bowls are designed for compressed air applications only. Do not fail
to use the metal bowl guard, where provided, to minimize danger from
high pressure fragmentation in the event of bowl failure.
Do not expose these products to certain fluids, such as alcohol or
liquefied petroleum gas, as they can cause bowls to rupture, creating
a combustible condition, hazardous leakage, and the potential for
human injury or damage to property. Immediately replace a crazed,
cracked, or deteriorated bowl. When bowl gets dirty, replace it or wipe
it with a clean dry cloth.
7. Only use lubricants which are compatible with materials used in
the valves and other components in the system. Normally, compatible
lubricants are petroleum based oils with oxidation inhibitors, an aniline
point between 180°F (82°C) and 220°F (104°C), and an ISO 32, or
lighter, viscosity. Avoid oils with phosphate type additives which can
harm polyurethane components, potentially leading to valve failure
which risks human injury, and/or damage to property.
AVOID INTAKE/EXHAUST RESTRICTION
8. Do not restrict the air flow in the supply line. To do so could reduce
the pressure of the supply air below the minimum requirements for
the valve and thereby cause erratic action.
9. Do not restrict a valve’s exhaust port as this can adversely affect its
operation. Exhaust silencers must be resistant to clogging and must
have flow capacities at least as great as the exhaust capacities of
the valves. Contamination of the silencer can result in reduced flow
and increased back pressure.
ROSS expressly disclaims all warranties and responsibility for any
unsatisfactory performance or injuries caused by the use of the wrong
type, wrong size, or an inadequately maintained silencer installed
with a ROSS product.
ENERGY ISOLATION/EMERGENCY STOP
11. Per specifications and regulations, ROSS
L-O-X ® valves and
L-O-X ® valves with EEZ-ON ® operation are defined as energy isolation
devices, NOT AS EMERGENCY STOP DEVICES.
