REFRIGERANT PIPE CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: CUT PIPES
When preparing refrigerant pipes, take extra care to cut and flare them properly. This will ensure
efficient operation and minimize leaks and the need for future maintenance.
1. Measure the distance between the indoor and outdoor units.
2. Using a pipe cutter, cut the pipe length a little longer than the measured distance.
3. Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect 90 angle.
4. Do not damage, deform, or dent the pipe while cutting.

STEP 2: REMOVE BURRS
Burrs can affect the airtight seal of the refrigerant piping connection and must be completely
removed.
1. Hold the pipe at a downward angle to prevent burrs from falling into the pipe.
2. Using a reamer or deburring tool, remove all burrs from the cut section of the pipe.
