Flaring work
Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring
work. Carry out correct flaring work in the
following procedure.
1
Cut the pipes
- Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes
purchased locally.
- Measure the distance between the
indoor and the outdoor unit.
- Cut the pipes a little longer than
measured distance.
- Cut the cable 1.5m(4.9ft) longer than the
pipe length.
2
Burrs removal
- Completely remove all burrs from the cut
cross section of pipe/tube.
- Put the end of the copper tube/pipe to
downward direction as you remove burrs
in order to avoid to let burrs drop in the
tubing.
3
Putting nut on
- Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and
outdoor units, than put them on
pipe/tube having completed burr removal.
(Not possible to put them on after flaring
work)
4
Flaring work
- Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as
shown below.
5
Check
- Compare the flared work with figure.
- If flare is noted to be defective, cut off
the flared section and do flaring work
again.
