Remove Burrs; Flare Pipe Ends - Pioneer WAS series Installation Manual

DO NOT DEFORM PIPE
WHILE CUTTING
Be extra careful not to damage, dent, or
deform the pipe while cutting. This will
drastically reduce the heating e ciency of the
unit.
Step 2: Remove burrs
Burrs can a ect the air-tight seal of refrigerant
piping connection. They must be completely
removed.
1. Hold the pipe at a downward angle to prevent
burrs from falling into the pipe.
2. Using a reamer or deburring tool, remove all
burrs from the cut section of the pipe.

Step 3: Flare pipe ends
Proper flaring is essential to achieve an airtight
seal.
1. After removing burrs from cut pipe, seal
the ends with PVC tape to prevent foreign
materials from entering the pipe.
2. Sheath the pipe with insulating material.
3. Place are nuts on both ends of pipe. Make
sure they are facing in the right direction,
because you can't put them on or change
their direction after aring. See Fig. 5.3 .
