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.
Cut the pipes and the cable
- Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes pur-
chased locally.
- Measure the distance between the indoor
and the outdoor unit.
- Cut the pipes a little longer than measured
distance.
- Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe
length.
Burrs removal
- Completely remove all burrs from the cut
cross section of pipe/tube.
- 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)
