Flaring Work

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 out-
door unit.
3. Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance.
4. Cut the cable 1.5m(59.1in) longer than the pipe length.

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 drop-
ping 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)
