Flaring Tool
✧ ✧
* The flaring tools for R32 are applicable
to R22/R410A.
* If using flaring tube, make dimension
of tube larger for R410A.
* In case of material 1/2H, flaring is not
available.
Flaring for Tubes
Pipe Bender
✧ ✧
* In case of material 1/2H, bending is not
available. Use elbow for bend and braze.
Bending
Expanding Tool
✧ ✧
* In case of material 1/2H, expanding
of tube is not available. Use socket for
connecting tube.

* For φ1/2, φ5/8, spanner size is up 2mm.
Connection of Flare Nut
✧ ✧
* For φ1/4, φ3/8, φ3/4, spanner size is the
same.
Brazing Tool
✧ ✧
* Perform correct brazing work. Brazing for Tubes
Nitrogen Gas
✧ ✧
* Strict Control against Contamin (Blow
nitrogen during brazing.)

Oxidation during Brazing
Lubrication
Oil (for Flare
Surface)
● ✦
* Use a synthetic oil which is equivalent
to the oil used in the refrigeration cycle.
* Synthetic oil absorbs moisture quickly.

✕ ✕
* Check refrigerant cylinder color.
* Liquid refrigerant charging is required
regarding zeotoropic refrigerant.
* Use the weight scale.
Refrigerant Charging
Vacuum Pump
✧ ✧
* The current ones are applicable.
However, it is required to mount a
vacuum pump adapter which can prevent
from reverse flow when a vacuum pump
stops, resulting in no reverse oil flow.

* No interchangeability is available due
to higher pressures when compared with
R22.
* Do not use current ones to the different
refrigerant. If used, mineral oil will flow
into the cycle and cause sludges, resulting
in clogging or compressor failure.
* Connection diameter is different; R32/
R410A: UNF1/2, R22: UNF7/16.
