CONNECTING THE PIPING

Pay careful attention to the following points when installing the refrigerant pipes.
• Hold the pipe with one wrench while tightening the connections with a torque
wrench or double-ended wrench.
Be careful not to damage the flare nut threads.
• If the tightening torque is insufficient, gas will leak from the connection.
• If it is too strong, the flare will be damaged.
Tighten the nut with the torque shown in Table 1.
