Additional Precautions For R32 Models when connecting by flaring at indoor side
Seal sufficiently the flare nut (both gas and liquid sides) with neutral cure
(Alkoxy type) & ammonia-free silicone sealant and insulation material to avoid
the gas leak caused by freezing.
Neutral cure (Alkoxy type) & ammonia-free silicone
sealant is only to be applied after pressure testing and
cleaning up by following instructions of sealant, only to
the outside of the connection. The aim is to prevent
moisture from entering the connection joint and possible
occurrence of freezing. Curing sealant will take some time.
Torque wrench
Make sure sealant will not peel off when wrapping the insulation.
