3-2. FLARING WORK
1) Cut the copper pipe correctly with pipe cutter. (Fig. 1, 2)
2) Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of pipe. (Fig. 3)
• Aim the copper pipe downward while removing burrs to prevent burrs
from dropping in the pipe.
3) Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor units, then put them on
pipe having completed burr removal. (Not possible to put them on after
flaring work.)
4) Flaring work (Fig. 4, 5). Firmly hold copper pipe in the dimension shown
in the table. Select A mm from the table according to the tool selected.
5) Check
• Compare the flared work with Fig. 6.
• If flare is noted to be defective, cut off the flared section and do flaring
work again.

• The connected pipe size differs depending the models and the capacities
of indoor units.

• Use tightening torque table above as a guideline for indoor unit side union
joint section, and tighten using two wrenches. Excessive tightening dam-
ages the flare section.
1) Do not apply refrigeration oil on screw threads. Excessive tightening torque
will result in damage on the screw.
2) For connection, first align the center, then tighten the first 3 to 4 turns of
flare nut by hand.
3) Tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench as specified in the table.
• Over-tightening may cause damage to the flare nut, resulting in refrigerant
leakage.
• Be sure to wrap insulation around the piping. Direct contact with the bare
piping may result in burns or frostbite.
3-4. INSULATION AND TAPING
1) Cover piping joints with pipe cover.
2) For outdoor unit side, surely insulate every piping including valves.
3) Using piping tape (E), apply taping starting from the entry of outdoor unit.
• Stop the end of piping tape (E) with tape (with adhesive agent attached).
• When piping have to be arranged through above ceiling, closet or where
the temperature and humidity are high, wind additional commercially sold
insulation to prevent condensation.
