work. Carry out correct flaring work in the fol-
lowing procedure.
1) Cut the pipes and the cable.
n Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes
purchased locally.
n Measure the distance between the indoor
and the outdoor unit.
n Cut the pipes a little longer than mea-
sured distance.
n Cut the cable 1.5m(4.9ft) longer than the
pipe length.
2) Burrs removal
n Completely remove all burrs from the cut
cross section of pipe/tube.
n Put the end of the copper tube/pipe to
downward direction as you remove burrs
in order to avoid to let burrs drop in the
tubing.
3) Putting nut on
n Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and
outdoor units, than put them on pipe/tube
having completed burr removal.
(Not possible to put them on after flaring
work)
4) Flaring work
n Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as
shown below.
Firmly hold copper tube in a bar(or die) as
indicated dimension in the table above.

n Compare the flared work with figure.
n If flare is noted to be defective, cut off the
flared section and do flaring work again.
