flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in
the following procedure.
1
Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes
purchased locally.
2
Measure the distance between the indoor
and the outdoor unit.
3
Cut the pipes a little longer than measured
distance.
4
Cut the cable 1.5 m longer than the pipe
length.
1
Completely remove all burrs from the cut
cross section of pipe/tube.
2
While removing burrs put the end of the
copper tube/pipe in a downward direction
while removing burrs location is also
changed in order to avoid dropping burrs
into the tubing.
- Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and
outdoor unit, then put them on pipe/tube
having completed burr removal.
(not possible to put them on after finishing
flare work)
