2. As shown in the figure, be sure to use two wrenches to
loosen or tighten the flare nut of the valve on the gas
side. If you use a single crescent, the flare nut cannot be
tightened to the required tightening torque.
On the other hand, use a single crescent to loosen or
tighten the flare nut of the valve on the liquid side.

NO GOOD
(Unit: N•m)
• After the installation work, be sure to check for gas leaks
of the pipe connections with nitrogen.
• Pressure of R410A is higher than that of R22 (Approx.
1.6 times).
Therefore, using a torque wrench, tighten the flare pipe
connecting sections that connect the indoor/outdoor units
at the specified tightening torque.
Incomplete connections may cause not only a gas leak,
but also trouble with the refrigeration cycle.
Do not apply refrigerant oil to the flared surface.
