Use copper pipes for cooling systems.
9
Use connecting pipes and tools appropriate for the system's
refrigerant.
0
It is forbidden to use second-hand cooling lines since their
flare connection seal is not guaranteed.
0
It is forbidden to use pre-charged cooling lines.
0
It is forbidden to carry out welding operations with refrig-
erant inside the cooling circuit. If necessary, the refrigerant
must be recovered and the circuit must be cleaned with ni-
trogen without oxygen.

Plug the pipe ends in order to prevent water or debris from
flowing in.

Before threading the lines through the hole in the wall,
close the lines ends.
— cut the pipe end square using a pipe cutter
— remove burrs keeping the cut edge facing down
— remove the flare nut on the unit connection
— insert it into the connection pipe
— flare the tube

— bring line ends with flare connection close to their cou-
pling on the unit
— manually rotate the flare nuts by 3 - 4 turns
— tighten the connections using a spanner and a counter
spanner
9
Use a torque wrench to tighten so as to prevent damage to
flare nuts and gas leaks.
9
During the connection, keep the leak finder on and close to
the unit so that it signals any refrigerant leak.
9
Avoid using the refrigerant oil on the external part of the
flaring.
After connecting the cooling pipes:
— create a vacuum inside the pipes
— check for refrigerant leaks
— apply thermal insulating material on the joints
