• The pipe will be insulated and fixed permanently into
position after finishing the installation and the gas leak
test. For further details. see Step 4.1 Performing the
gas leak tests on page 45.
CAUTION
• Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench according
to specified method. If the flare nut is over-tightened,
the flare may break and cause refrigerant gas leakage.
• Do not box in or cover the pipe connection. All
refrigerant pipe connection must be easily accessible
and serviceable.
