a. Remove the indoor pipe flare nut. ( Check that there is no debris inside. )
b. Align the center of the flare surface, and tighten the indoor pipe union and
connection pipe flare nut with a torque wrench or double-ended wrench.
( Figure. 15 )
While aligning the center of the flare surface, tighten the nut by hand, hold the
union side with a wrench and tighten the nut according to the specified
tightening torque with a torque wrench.
Pay careful attention to the following points when installing the refrigerant pipes.
• Hold the pipe with one wrench while tightening the connections with a torque
wrench or double-ended wrench.
Be careful not to damage the flare nut threads.
• If the tightening torque is insufficient, gas will leak from the connection.
• If it is too strong, the flare will be damaged.
Tighten the nut with the torque shown in Table 1.
• Do not bend the pipe more than three times at one place.
• When extending the rolled pipe, straighten the pipe by unwinding as shown
in Figure 14.
