▪ Coat the flare inner surface with ether oil or ester oil when connecting a flare
nut. Tighten 3 or 4 turns by hand, before tightening firmly.
▪ ALWAYS use 2 wrenches together when loosening a flare nut.
▪ ALWAYS use a spanner and torque wrench together to tighten the flare nut when
connecting the piping. This to prevent nut cracking and leaks.

6.3.4 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).
6.3.5 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.
1 Cut the pipe end with a pipe cutter.
2 Remove burrs with the cut surface facing down so that the chips do NOT enter
the pipe.
