8.3.4 Pipe bending guidelines
Use a pipe bender for bending. All pipe bends should be as gentle as possible
(bending radius should be 30~40 mm or larger).
8.3.5 To flare the pipe end
CAUTION
▪ Incomplete flaring may cause refrigerant gas leakage.
▪ Do NOT re-use flares. Use new flares to prevent refrigerant gas leakage.
▪ Use flare nuts that are included with the unit. Using different flare nuts may
cause refrigerant gas leakage.
