As shown in the figure, be sure to use two
wrenches to loosen or tighten the flare nut of
the valve on the gas side. If you use a single
crescent, the flare nut cannot be tightened to
the required tightening torque.
On the other hand, use a single crescent to loosen
or tighten the flare nut of the valve on the liquid
side.

After the installation work, be sure to check for gas
leaks of the pipe connections with nitrogen.
Pressure of R410A is higher than that of R22
(Approx. 1.6 times).
(Unit: N m)
Therefore, using a torque wrench, tighten the flare
pipe connecting sections that connect the indoor /
outdoor units at the specified tightening torque.
Incomplete connections may cause not only a gas
leak, but also trouble with the refrigeration cycle.
Do not apply refrigerant oil to the flared surface.
