Connection Instructions—Refrigerant Piping
CAUTION

• The branching pipe must be installed horizontally. An angle of more than 10° may cause malfunction.
• DO NOT install the connecting pipe until both indoor and outdoor units have been installed.
• Insulate both the gas and liquid piping to prevent condensation.

Step 1: Cut pipes
When preparing refrigerant pipes, take extra care to cut and flare them properly. This will ensure efficient operation and minimize the need for future maintenance.

• Measure the distance between the indoor and outdoor units.
• Using a pipe cutter, cut the pipe a little longer than the measured distance.
• Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect 90° angle.

DO NOT DEFORM PIPE WHILE CUTTING
Be extra careful not to damage, dent, or deform the pipe while cutting. This will drastically reduce the heating
Step 2: Remove burrs
Burrs can affect the air-tight seal of refrigerant piping connection. They must be completely removed.

• Hold the pipe at a downward angle to prevent burrs from falling into the pipe.
• Using a reamer or deburring tool, remove all burrs from the cut section of the pipe.

Step 3: Flare pipe ends
Proper flaring is essential to achieve an airtight seal.

• After removing burrs from cut pipe, seal the ends with PVC tape to prevent foreign materials from entering the pipe.
• Sheath the pipe with insulating material.
• Place flare nuts on both ends of pipe. Make sure they are facing in the right direction, because you can’t put them on or change their direction after flaring.
• Remove PVC tape from ends of pipe when ready to perform flaring work.
• Clamp flare from on the end of the pipe. The end of the pipe must extend beyond the flare form.
• Place flaring tool onto the form.
• Turn the handle of the flaring tool clockwise until the pipe is fully flared.
