• Compare the flared work with a figure in right side hand.
•
If flare is noted to be defective, cut off the flared section and do flaring work again.

• Apply a thin coat of refrigeration oil on the seat surface of pipe. (Fig. 5-8)
•
For connection first align the center, then tighten the first 3 to 4 turns of flare nut.
• Use tightening torque table below as a guideline for indoor unit side union joint
section, and tighten using two wrenches. Excessive tightening damages the flare
section.

Warning:
When installing the unit, securely connect the refrigerant pipes before starting
the compressor.
Warning:
Be careful of flying flare nut! (Internally pressurized)
Remove the flare nut as follows:
1. Loosen the nut until you hear a hissing noise.
2. Do not remove the nut until the gas has been completely released (i.e., hiss-
ing noise stops).
3. Check that the gas has been completely released, and then remove the nut.

5.2. Flaring work
• Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring work.
Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure.
5.2.1. Pipe cutting (Fig. 5-3)
• Using a pipe cutter cut the copper tube correctly.
5.2.2. Burrs removal (Fig. 5-4)
• Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of pipe/tube.
• Put the end of the copper tube/pipe to downward direction as you remove burrs in
order to avoid burrs drop in the tubing.
5.2.3. Putting nut on (Fig. 5-5)
• Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor unit, then put them on pipe/tube
having completed burr removal.
(not possible to put them on after flaring work)
5.2.4. Flaring work (Fig. 5-6)
• Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as shown at the right.
