7. Align the threaded connections with the
flared refrigerant lines. Tighten the flare nuts
lightly at first to obtain a smooth match as
illustrated in “Figure 22. Making Connections
(Male to Female Connection)”.
8. Once snug, continue another half-turn on each nut
which should create a leak-free joint. A torque wrench
may be used to tighten flare nuts using “Table 3. Flare
Nut Torque Recommendations”. Do not over-tighten
a flared joint. Flared connections should always
be accessible and must be insulated to prevent
condensation.
9. After refrigerant piping has been installed and checked
for leaks, apply insulation over all flared connections.
