4.3.3 Pipe Bending 
(1) Reshape the pipe by hand. Be careful not to damage the pipe. 
 
                                Fig. 11                                                                              Fig. 12 
(2) Do not bend the pipe over 90°. 
(3) If pipe is repeatedly bent or stretched, it will get hard and difficult to bend and stretch 
again. Therefore, do not bend or stretch the bend for over 3 times. 
(4) In case that direct bending will open cracks to the pipe, first use sharp cutter to cut the 
insulating layer, as shown  in  Fig.12. Do not  bend the pipe until it  is  exposed. When 
bending is done, wrap the pipe with insulating layer and then secure it with adhesive 
tape. 
4.3.4 Indoor Pipe Connection 
(1) Remove pipe cover and pipe plug. 
(2) Direct the flared part of copper pipe to the center of screwed joint. Twist on the flared 
nut  tightly  by  hand,  as  in  Fig.13.  (Make  sure  indoor  pipe  is  correctly  connected. 
Improper  location  of  the  center  will  prevent  flared  nut  from  being  securely  twisted. 
Thread of nut will get damaged if the flared nut is twisted forcibly.) 
(3) Use torque wrench to twist on the flared nut tightly until the wrench gives out a click 
sound. (Hold the handle of wrench and make it at right angle to the pipe. as in Fig.14) 
(4) Use sponge to wrap the un-insulated connection pipe and joint. Then tie the sponge 
tightly with plastic tape. 
(5) Connection pipe should be supported by a bearer rather than the unit. 
(6) The bending angle of piping should not be too small; otherwise the piping might have 
cracks. Please use a pipe bender to bend the pipe. 
(7) When connecting IDU with connection pipe, do not pull the big and small joints of IDU 
with force in case the capillary tube or other tubes have cracks and cause leakage.
