3 Use specic are nut.
4 Check that there are no scratch, chip, deformation, gap, etc.
at the aring part.
5 Apply the refrigerant oil in a thin layer to the inside of the
aring part of the pipe before tightening the are nut. And the
are nut must be tightened using two spanners according
to the tightening torque as shown in the gure below. The
tightening work will be easier if tightening the are pipe in
order of the liquid pipe, the gas pipe. Check the leakage of
the refrigerant after the tightening work.
? NOTE
• If the refrigerant oil attaches to the air panel, it may cause a crack.
Pay attention not to attach.
• Refrigerant oil is eld-supplied: [Ethereal Oil FVC50K, FVC68D
(Idemitsu Kousan Co. Ltd.)]
Do not apply the
refrigerant oil to the
outside of the aring
part.

Ø15.88 (5/8) 68 - 82 (Nm)
! CAUTION
Tighten the are nuts according to the specied torque. If not, it may
cause the refrigerant leakage.
