• If there is no torque wrench, use Table 4 as a rule of thumb.
When tightening a flare nut with a spanner harder and harder, there is a point where the tightening torque
suddenly increases.
From that position, tighten the nut additionally the angle shown in Table 4.
After the work is finished, check securely that there is no gas leak.
If the nut is not tightened as instructed, it may cause slow refrigerant leak and result in malfunction
(such as does not cool or heat).

CAUTION
Insulation of field piping must be carried out up to the connection inside the casing.
If the piping is exposed to the atmosphere, it may cause sweating, burn due to touching the piping,
electric shocks or a fire due to the wiring touching the piping.
• After leak test, referring to Fig. 16, insulate both the gas and liquid piping connection with the attached
joint insulating for fitting (8) and (9) to prevent the pipings from getting exposed.
Then, tighten the both ends of insulating material with the clamp (4).
• Wrap the sealing material (Medium-1, 2) (11) (12) around the joint insulating for fitting (8) and (9)
(flare nut section), both the gas and liquid piping.
• Make sure to bring the seam of joint insulating for fitting (8) and (9) to the top.
