5. Clamp flare form on the end of the pipe.
The end of the pipe must extend beyond
Flare form
the flare form.

6. Place flaring tool onto the form.
7. Turn the handle of the flaring tool clockwise
until the pipe is fully flared. Flare the pipe in
accordance with the dimensions shown in
table 7.5.

8. Remove the flaring tool and flare form,
then inspect the end of the pipe for cracks
and even flaring.
Step 4: Connect pipes
Connect the copper pipes to the indoor unit first,
then connect it to the outdoor unit. Vou should
first connect the low-pressure pipe, then the
high-pressure pipe.
1. When connectingtheflare nuts, apply a thin coat
of refrigeration oil to theflared ends of the pipes.
2. Align the center of the two pipes that you
will connect.

5. While firmly gripping the nut, use a torque
wrench to tighten the flare nut according to
the torque values in table 7.5.

• Ensure to wrap insulation around the piping.
Direct contact with the bare piping may result
in burns or frostbite.
• Make sure the pipe is properly connected.
Over tightening may damage the bell mouth
and under tightening may lead to leakage.
NOTE ON MINIMUM BEND RADIUS
Carefully bend the tubing in the middle according
º
to the diagram below. DO NOT bend the tubing
more than 90
or more than 3 times.
Bend the pipe with thumb
min-radius 10cm (3.9")
6. After connecting the copper pipes to the
indoor unit, wrap the power cable, signal
cable and the piping together with binding
tape.
NOTE: DO NOT intertwine signal cable with
other wires. While bundling these items
together, do not intertwine or cross the signal
cable with any other wiring.
7. Thread this pipeline through the wall and
connect it to the outdoor unit.
8. lnsulate all the piping, including the valves
of the outdoor unit.
9. O pen the stop valves of the outdoor unit
to start the flow of the refrigerant
between the indoor and outdoor unit.

Check to make sure there is no refrigerant leak
after completing the installation work. If there is
a refrigerant leak, ventilate the area immediately
and evacuate the system (reter to the Air
Evacuation section of this manual).
