▪ Coat the flare inner surface with ether oil or ester oil when connecting a flare
nut. Tighten 3 or 4 turns by hand, before tightening firmly.
▪ ALWAYS use 2 wrenches together when loosening a flare nut.
▪ ALWAYS use a spanner and torque wrench together to tighten the flare nut when
connecting the piping. This to prevent nut cracking and leaks.

Use a pipe bender for bending. All pipe bends should be as gentle as possible
(bending radius should be 30~40 mm or larger).
CAUTION
▪
Incomplete flaring may cause refrigerant gas leakage.
▪
Do NOT re-use flares. Use new flares to prevent refrigerant gas leakage.
▪
Use flare nuts that are included with the unit. Using different flare nuts may
cause refrigerant gas leakage.
