1. Make sure that you have the required tools available. (pipe cutter, reamer, flaring tool and pipe holder)
2. If you wish to shorten the pipes, cut it with a pipe cutter, taking care to ensure that the cut edge remains at a 90° angle with the
side of the pipe. Refer to the illustrations below for examples of edges cut correctly and incorrectly.

If the pipes require brazing, ensure that OFN (Oxygen Free Nitrogen) is flowing through the system. If it is not
flowing,Comp or valve can be damaged.
•
Nitrogen blowing pressure range is 0.02 ~ 0.05MPa.
