Step 7 Optional: Cutting and flaring
the pipes
1
Make sure that you have the required tools available.
(pipe cutter, reamer, flaring tool, and pipe holder)
2
If you wish to shorten the pipes, cut it with a pipe
cutter, taking care to ensure that the cut edge remains
at a 90° angle with the side of the pipe. Refer to the
illustrations below for examples of edges cut correctly
and incorrectly.

3
To prevent any gas from leaking out, remove all burrs
at the cut edge of the pipe, using a reamer.
4
Slide a flare nut on to the pipe and modify the flare.

CAUTION
•
Keep the piping length at a minimum to minimize the
additional refrigerant charge due to piping extension.
(Maximum allowable piping length : 15 m)
•
When connecting the pipes, make sure that
surrounding objects do not interfere with or contact
them to prevent refrigerant leakage due to physical
damage.
•
Make sure that the spaces where the refrigerant pipes
are installed comply with national gas regulations.
•
Be sure to perform works such as additional
refrigerant charging and pipe welding under the
conditions of good ventilation.
•
Be sure to perform welding and piping works for
mechanical connections under the conditions that the
refrigerant does not circulate.
•
When reconnecting the pipes, make sure to perform
flared-jointing newly to prevent refrigerant leakage.
•
When working on the refrigerant pipes and the flexible
refrigerant connectors, be careful that they are not
damaged physically by surrounding objects.
•
For installation with handling the R-32 refrigerant,
use the special tools for the R32 refrigerant (manifold
gauge, vacuum pump, charging hose, etc.).
•
During tests never pressurize the appliances with
a pressure higher than the maximum allowable
pressure(as indicated on the nameplate of the unit).
•
Never directly touch any accidental leaking refrigerant.
This could result in severe wounds caused by frostbite.
•
Never install a dryer to this unit in order to guarantee
its lifetime.
