ø19.05 0.9
ø22.23 0.9
CAUTION
• Be sure to use C1220T-1/2H (Semi-hard) pipe for
more than Ø19.05 mm. If you use C1220T-O (Soft)
pipe for Ø19.05 mm, the pipe may be broken, which
can result in an injury.
Make at least one round:
It will reduce noise and vibration
• The appearance of the unit may be different from the
diagram depending on the model.
CAUTION
• After connecting the pipes with knock-out treatment,
plug the space around the pipes.
• After connecting the pipes, proceed exactly as
directed in the guide to prevent interference with the
internal parts.
Step 6 Optional: Cutting and aring the
pipes
1 Make sure that you have the required tools available.
(pipe cutter, reamer, flaring tool, and pipe holder)
2 If you wish to shorten the pipes, cut it with a pipe
cutter, taking care to ensure that the cut edge remains
at a 90° angle with the side of the pipe. Refer to
the illustrations below for examples of edges cut
correctly and incorrectly.
3 To prevent any gas from leaking out, remove all burrs
at the cut edge of the pipe, using a reamer.
4 Slide a flare nut on to the pipe and modify the flare.
