ENGLISH
Five metres of piping is supplied with the air conditioner(Optional). This
length can if necessary be:
◆ Extended to a maximum of 15metres
◆ Shortened as required
☛ If more than five metres of piping is required:
◆ The assembly cable must also be extended
◆ Refrigerant must be added to the circuit by an approved
installer; otherwise, the indoor unit may freeze
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 piping, cut it using a pipe cutter, taking care to
ensure that the cut edge remains at a 90° angle with the side of the pipe,
and referring to the illustrations below for examples of edges cut correctly
and incorrectly.
Oblique Rough Burr
3 To prevent any gas from leaking out, remove all burrs at the cut end of the
pipe, using a reamer.
4 Slide a flare nut on to the pipe and modify the flare.
Outer Diameter (D) Depth (A)
