(2)  To fasten the flare nuts, apply specified torque.
●  When removing the flare nuts from the tubing connections, or when tightening them after 
connecting the tubing, be sure to use two spanners.  
When tightening the flare nuts, use a torque wrench. 
If the flare nuts are over-tightened, the flare may be damaged, which could result in refrigerant 
leakage and cause injury or asphyxiation to room occupants.
●  For the flare nuts at tubing connections, be 
sure to use the flare nuts that were supplied 
with the unit, or else flare nuts for R410A, 
R32 (type 2). The refrigerant tubing that is 
used must be of the correct wall thickness as 
shown in the table at right. 
  Because the pressure is approximately  
1.6 times higher than conventional refrigerant 
R22 pressure, the use of ordinary flare nuts 
(type 1) or thin-walled tubes may result in 
tube rupture, injury, or asphyxiation caused 
by refrigerant leakage.
●  In order to prevent damage to the flare caused by over-tightening of the flare nuts, use the 
table on the right as a guide when tightening.
●  When tightening the flare nut on the liquid tube, use an adjustable wrench with a nominal 
handle length of 200 mm.
