D. Install Copper Lineset
• Line set sizes are determined by the indoor unit. See indoor spec for information. The outdoor unit ships with port
adapters to reduce or enlarge the flare port sizes when needed. If connecting to 24K models with 3/8" & 5/8" ports,
adapters must be ordered separately.
• Cut the line set to length.
• Place nut over the pipe and then flare with the R-410A flaring tool.
NOTE: Follow standard practices for creating pipe flares. When cutting and reaming the tubing, use caution to prevent
dirt or debris from entering the tubing. Remember to place nut over the tubing before flaring.
• To join the line set, directly align the tubing flare to the fitting on the other pipe. Slide the nut onto the fitting and hand
tighten.
• Torque the fittings according to the specifications shown in the torque chart below.
• Two wrenches are required to join the flare connection; one standard wrench and one torque wrench
adjusted to the proper settings.
• Repeat the process for attaching the other end of the line set.
