Excessive force can break the nut or damage the refrigerant piping. You must not exceed
torque requirements shown in the table above.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING PIPING TO OUTDOOR UNIT
1. Unscrew the cover from the packed
valve on the side of the outdoor unit.
2. Remove protective caps from ends of
valves.
3. Align flared pipe end with each valve,
and tighten the flare nut as tightly as
possible by hand.
4. Using a spanner, grip the body of the
valve. Do not grip the nut that seals the
service valve.
5. While firmly gripping the body of the
valve, use a torque wrench to tighten
the flare nut according to the correct
torque values.
6. Loosen the flaring nut slightly, then
tighten again.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for the remaining
pipe.
