5 Check that the flaring is properly made.

c Make sure the flare nut is fitted.
The indoor unit and outdoor unit have flare connections. Connect both ends
without brazing. If brazing should be needed, take the following into account:
▪ When brazing, blow through with nitrogen to prevent creation of large quantities
of oxidised film on the inside of the piping. This film adversely affects valves and
compressors in the refrigerating system and prevents proper operation.
▪ Set the nitrogen pressure to 20 kPa (0.2 bar) (just enough so it can be felt on the
skin) with a pressure-reducing valve.
