re form, then
inspect the end of the pipe for cracks and
Step 4: Connect pipes
When connecting refrigerant pipes, be careful
not to use excessive torque or to deform the
piping in any way. You should �rst connect the
low-pressure pipe, then the high-pressure pipe.
MINIMUM BEND RADIUS
When bending connective refrigerant piping,
the minimum bending radius is 10cm. See Fig
5.6.

TORQUE REQUIREMENTS
Outer Diameter of Pipe (in/mm) Tightening Torque (N•cm) Add. Tightening Torque (N•m)
Ø 0.25” (Ø 6.35) 1,500 (11lb•ft) 1,600 (11.8lb•ft)
Ø 0.375” (Ø 9.52) 2,500 (18.4lb•ft) 2,600 (19.18lb•ft)
Ø 0.5” (Ø 12.7) 3,500 (25.8lb•ft) 3,600 (26.55lb•ft)
Ø 0.63” (Ø 16) 4,500 (33.19lb•ft) 4,700 (34.67lb•ft)
DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE TORQUE
Excessive force can break the nut or damage the refrigerant piping. You must not exceed torque
requirements shown in the table above.
Instructions for Connecting Piping to
