Step 3: Flare pipe ends
Proper aring is essential to achieve an airtight
seal.
1. After removing burrs from cut pipe, seal
the ends with PVC tape to prevent foreign
materials from entering the pipe.
2. Sheath the pipe with insulating material.
3. Place are nuts on both ends of pipe.
Make sure they are facing in the right
direction, because you can’t put them on
or change their direction after flaring.

4. Remove PVC tape from ends of pipe when
ready to perform aring work.
5. Clamp are form on the end of the pipe.
The end of the pipe must extend beyond
the are form.

2. Using a reamer or deburring tool, remove
all burrs from the cut section of the pipe.

6. Place aring tool onto the form.
7. Turn the handle of the aring tool
clockwise until the pipe is fully ared. Flare
the pipe in accordance with the dimensions.

8. Remove the aring tool and are form,
then inspect the end of the pipe for cracks
and even aring.
Step 4: Connect pipes
Connect the copper pipes to the indoor unit rst,
then connect it to the outdoor unit. You should
rst connect the low-pressure pipe, then the high-
pressure pipe.
1.
When connecting the are nuts, apply a
thin coat of refrigeration oil to the ared
ends of the pipes.
2.
Align the center of the two pipes that you
will connect.

3. Tighten the are nut as tightly as possible
by hand.
4. Using a spanner, grip the nut on the unit
tubing.
5. While rmly gripping the nut, use a torque
wrench to tighten the are nut according
to the torque values in above table.
NOTE: Use both a spanner and a torque wrench
when connecting or disconnecting pipes to/from
the unit.
