Flaring work and connection of piping

Flaring Work

Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure.
Cutting the pipes and the cable.
1. Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes purchased
locally.
2. Measure the distance between the indoor and the
outdoor unit.
3. Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance.
4. Cut the cable 4.9ft(1.5m) longer than the pipe length.
Removing burrs
1. Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section
of pipe/tube.
2. Put the end of the copper tube/pipe in a downward
direction as you remove burrs in order to avoid dropping
burrs into the tubing.
Putting nut on
• Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor unit,
then put them on pipe/tube having completed burr
removal.
(not possible to put them on after flaring work)
