Refrigerant Pipe Connection
NOTE:
The main cause of refrigerant leaks is due to defective
flare connections.
Make flare connections using the following procedure:
1.
Remove the flare nuts attached to the indoor and out-
door units. Before flaring, slide them over the tubing. It
is not possible to put them on after flaring tubes.
2.
Insert tube in flare tool to measurement “A” in chart.
Flare tubing as shown in Figure 19. Make sure flare is
free of burrs and completely formed to make a leak proof
joint.
NOTE:
In order to avoid dropping burrs into the tubing,
angle the end of the copper tube/pipe in a downward
direction as you remove the burrs.

on the pipe.
