Step 2: Remove burrs
Burrs can aff 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 fl aring is essential to achieve an airtight seal.
1. After removing burrs from cut pipe, seal the ends with a piece of tape to
prevent foreign materials from entering the pipe.
2. Sheath the pipe with insulating material.
3. Place fl are nuts on both ends of pipe. Make sure they are facing in the proper
direction, because you can't put them on or change their direction after
fl aring. See Fig. 29.

7. Turn the handle of the fl aring tool clockwise until the pipe is fully fl ared.
8. Remove the fl aring tool and fl aring block, then inspect the end of the pipe
