CONNECTING PIPES

Preparation of Piping

Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following
procedure.
C C ut 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 1.5 m 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)
