(2) Flare Connecting Procedures and Precautions
a) Make sure that the flare and union portions do not have any scar or dust, etc.
b) Correctly align the processed flare surface with the union axis.
c) Tighten the flare with designated torque by means of a torque wrench. The tightening torque for
R410A is same as that for conventional R22. Incidentally, when the torque is wekd, the gas leakage
may occur. When it is strong, the flare nut may crack and may be made nonremovable. When
choosing the tightening torque, comply with values designated by manufacturers. Table 9 shows
reference values.
Note:When applying oil to the flare surface, be sure to use oil designated by the manufacturer. If any
other oil is used, the lubricating oils may deteriorate and cause the compressor to burn out.
