2. Flaring work and connection of piping
1) Flaring work
Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect in flar-
ing work. Carry out correct flaring work in the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Cut the pipes and the cable.
■
Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes pur-
chased locally.
■
Measure the distance between the indoor and the
outdoor unit.
■
Cut the pipes a little longer than measured dis-
tance.
■
Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe length.
2. Burrs removal
■
Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross
section of pipe/tube.
■
Put the end of the copper tube/pipe in a down-
ward direction as you remove burrs in order to
avoid dropping burrs into the tubing.
3. Putting nut on
■
Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor
unit, then put them on pipe/tube having complet-
ed burr removal.
(not possible to put them on after flaring work)
