t Blowing Nitrogen gas should be done when brazing the pipe.
t Make sure to use the provided are nut.
t Make sure that there are no cracks on the bent pipe.
t Do not fasten the are nut with excessive strength.
t Use ester oil to coat the are connection area to prevent refrigerant leak. R410A is a high pressure refrigerant.
Therefore, there is a risk of refrigerant leakage if the are connection is not coated with ester oil.
