REFRIGERATION LINE CONNECTIONS
When connecting the refrigerant tubing
- Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.
- Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
- Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the flare and union tubes before connecting them, then tighten
the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free connection.
- Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
