Flaring Work and Connection of Piping ENGLISH Flaring Work and Connection of Piping Flaring work Main cause of gas leakage is defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure. 1) Cut the pipes and the cable. I Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes purchased locally. I Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor unit. I Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance. I Cut the cable 1.5m(4.9ft) longer than the pipe length. 2) Burrs removal I Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of pipe/tube. I 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. 3) Putting nut on I Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor units, than put them on pipe/tube having completed burr removal. (Not possible to put them on after flaring work) 4) Flaring work I Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as shown below. Outside diameter A mm Ø6.35 Ø9.52 Ø12.7 inch mm inch 1/4 1.1~1.3 0.04~0.05 3/8 1.5~1.7 0.06~0.07 1/2 1.6~1.8 0.06~0.07 Firmly hold copper tube in a bar(or die) as indicated dimension in the table above. 5) Check I Compare the flared work with figure.
