Preparation of Piping
Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring
work. Carry out correct flaring work in the
following procedure. Copper

2. Burrs removal
• Completely remove all burrs from the cut
cross section of pipe/tube.
Flare nut
• Put the end of the copper tube/pipe to
downward direction as you remove burrs in
order to avoid to let burrs drop in the tubing. Copper tube
3. Putting nut on
• Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and
outdoor units, than put them on pipe/tube
having completed burr removal.

• If flare is noted to be defective, cut off the all round
flared section and do flaring work again.
Connection of piping
1. Move the indoor tubing and drain hose to the hole
• Remove tubing holder and pull the tubing out of the chassis.
2. Replace the tubing holder into original position
3. Route the tubing and the drain hose staight backwards.
4. Insert the connecting cable into the indoor unit through the hole.
• Do not connect the cable to the indoor unit
• Make a small loop with the cable for easy connection later.
5. Tape the tubing and the connecting cable.
6. Indoor unit installation.
7. Connecting the pipings to the indoor unit.
Precautions in bending
1. If it is necessary to bend or stretch the
tubing, use the spring which is attached to Spring
the tubing in stead of pipe bender.
• Please make a careful notice to make a
smooth line. R70mm
• Hold the tubing with your two hands closely
and then bend or stretch it slowly not to
make any crack.
• Remember that the radius (R) should not (Fig. 1)
exceed 70mm (Refer to Fig. 1)
2. Do not repeat the bending process to prevent
the tubing from cracking or crushing. R
3. Keep in mind that the bending part should
not be cracked and make the radius (R) as
long as possible (Refer to Fig. 2)
