2.2.2 Flaring work

Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure.
1) Cut the pipes and the cable.
① Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes purchased locally.
② Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor
unit.
③ Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance.
④ Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe length.
2) Burrs removal
① Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of
pipe/tube.
② Put the end of the copper tube/pipe in a downward direction
as you remove burrs in order to avoid dropping of burrs into
the tubing.
3) Putting nut on
① 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)
4) Flaring work
① Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as shown below.
② Firmly hold copper pipe in a die in the dimension shown in the
table below.

5) Check after flaring
① Compare the flared work with figure on right side.
② If flare is found to be defective, cut off the flared section and
do flaring work again.
