FLARING TECHNIQUE (FOR FLARE CONNECTION)
Cut the pipe stages by stages, advancing the blade of pipe cutter slowly. Extra force and a deep cut will
cause more distortion of pipe and therefore, extra burr.
Remove burr with the burr remover. This will avoid unevenness on the flare face which will cause gas leak.
Hold the flaring end down to prevent burr from dropping inside pipe.
The exact length of pipe protruding from the face of the flare die is determined by the flaring tool. The table
shows the use of an imperial die and riged die.

Fix the pipe firmly on the flare die. Match the centers of both the flare die and the flaring punch. Tighten flaring
punch fully.
VACUUMING AND CHARGING
The pre-charged outdoor unit does not need any vacuuming or charging. However once it is connected, the
connecting pipe line and the indoor need to be vacuumed before releasing the R22 from the outdoor unit.
1) Open the service port core cap.
2) Connect pressure gauge to the service port.
3) Connect the line to vacuum pump. Open the charging manifold valve and turn the pump on (Diagram 1).
Evacuation time varies by the capacity of the pump but within 1 hour.
4) Repeat step 1 to step 3 for every indoor with respect to the correct pair of flare valve.
5) After evacuation, unscrew the spindle (diagram 2B) for the gas to run to indoor unit.
