REFRIGERANT PIPING
1) To prevent gas leakage, apply refrigeration oil to the inner surface of the flare.
2) Align the centres of both flares and tighten the flare nuts 3 or 4 turns by hand. Then tighten them fully with the torque
wrenches.
• Use torque wrenches when tightening the flare nuts to prevent damage to the flare nuts and escaping gas.

Cautions on Pipe Handling
Table No. 7
1) Protect the open end of the pipe against dust and moisture.
2) All pipe bends should be as gentle as possible. Use a pipe bender for
bending.

When using commercial copper pipes and fittings, observe the following:
1) Insulation material : Polyethylene foam or equivalent.
Heat transfer rate - Co-efficient : 0.041 to 0.052W/m'K
( 0.035 to 0.045kcal/m'h'C)
. Im
2) Be sure to insulate both the gas and liquid piping and to provide insulation dimensions as below.
