Step 2: Remove burrs
Burrs can affect the air-tight seal of
refrigerant piping connection. They must be
completely removed.
1. Hold the pipe at a downward angle to
prevent burrs from falling into the pipe.
2. Using a reamer or deburring tool,
remove all burrs from the cut section of
the pipe.

Step 3: Flare pipe ends
Proper 昀氀aring is essential to achieve an
airtight seal.
1. After removing burrs from cut pipe,
seal the ends with PVC tape to prevent
foreign materials from entering the pipe.
2. Sheath the pipe with insulating material.
3. Place 昀氀are 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 昀氀aring.

4. Remove PVC tape from ends of pipe
when ready to perform 昀氀aring work.
5. Clamp 昀氀are form on the end of the pipe.
The end of the pipe must extend beyond
the edge of the 昀氀are form in accordance
with the dimensions shown in the table
below.

6. Place 昀氀aring tool onto the form.
7. Turn the handle of the 昀氀aring tool
clockwise until the pipe is fully 昀氀ared.
8. Remove the 昀氀aring tool and 昀氀are form,
then inspect the end of the pipe for
cracks and even 昀氀aring.
Step 4: Connect pipes
When connecting refrigerant pipes, be
careful not to use excessive torque or to
deform the piping in any way. You should
昀椀rst connect the low-pressure pipe, then the
high-pressure pipe.
MINIMUM BEND RADIUS
When bending connective refrigerant piping,
the minimum bending radius is 10cm.
Radius ≥10cm (4in)
