INSTALLING THE INDOOR UNIT
Cutting/Extending the Piping
Make sure that you have the required tools available (pipe cutter, reamer,
flaring tool and pipe holder).
1
To prevent any gas from leaking out, remove all burrs at the cut end of the
pipe, using a reamer.
3
Slide a flare nut on to the pipe and modify the flare.
4
Align the pipes to be connected and tighten the flare nuts first manually and
then with a torque wrench, applying the following torque.
6
Check that the flaring is correct, referring to the illustrations below for examples of incorrect
flaring.
5
If you wish to shorten the piping, cut it using a pipe cutter, taking care to
ensure that the cut edge remains at a 90° angle with the side of the pipe,
and referring to the illustrations below for examples of edges cut correctly
and incorrectly.
