1. FLARE PROCESSING
(1) Cut the connection pipe with pipe cutters so that the
pipe is not deformed.
(2) Hold the pipe downwards so that cuttings cannot
enter the pipe, remove the burrs.
(3) Remove the flare nut from the indoor unit pipe and
outdoor unit and assemble as shown in (Table 3)
and insert the flare nut onto the pipe, and flare with
a flaring tool.
(4) Check if the flared part “L” (Fig. 15) is spread uni-
formly and that there are no cracks.

2. BENDING PIPES
The pipes are shaped by your hands. Be careful not to
collapse them.
Do not bend the pipes in an angle more than 90°.
When pipes are repeatedly bent or stretched, the
material will harden, making it difficult to bend or
stretch them any more. Do not bend or stretch the
pipes more than three times.
When bending the pipe, do not bend it as is. The pipe
will be collapsed. In this case, cut the heat insulating
pipe with a sharp cutter as shown in Fig. 17, and bend
it after exposing the pipe. After bending the pipe as
you want, be sure to put the heat insulating pipe back
on the pipe, and secure it with tape.

3. CONNECTION PIPES
(1) Remove the filter guide (Fig. 18).

Be sure to apply the pipe against the
port on the indoor unit correctly. If the
centering is improper, the flare nut can-
not be tightened smoothly. If the flare
nut is forced to turn, the threads will be
damaged.
(1) Do not use mineral oil on flared part.
Prevent mineral oil from getting into
the system as this would reduce the
lifetime of the units.
(2) Never use piping which has been used
for previous installations. Only use parts
which are delivered with the unit.
(3) While welding the pipes, be sure to
blow dry nitrogen gas through them.
