Torque Wrench
● ■ * For 12.7mm D., 15.88mm D., wrench size is up 2mm. Connection of
Flare Nut
■ ■
* For 6.35mm D., 9.52mm D., 19.05mm D., wrench
size is the same.
Brazing Tool ■ ■ * Perform correct brazing work. Brazing for Tubes
Nitrogen Gas ■ ■
* Strict control against pollution (Blow nitrogen
during brazing.)

● ★
* Use a synthetic oil which is equivalent to the the oil
used in the refrigeration cycle.
* Synthetic oil absorbs moisture quickly.

Vacuum Pump ■ ■
○ : It is required to mount a vacuum pump adapter
(check valve) to prevent oil of the vacuum pump
from being pulled when the vacuum pump stops.

○ : Use manifold and charging hoses designed for
each refrigerant as design pessure is different.Do
not share manifold and charging hoses with other
refrigerant type to prevent mixing of different types
of refrigerant oil. (If use, it may cause cycle choking
or compressor failure.)
