If burrs is not removed, gas leakage may be caused. Turn the piping enddown to avoid the metal powder entering the pipe.3 Please make flare after inserting the flare nut onto the copper pipes.11.1.3 Outdoor Unit11.1.3.1 Install the Outdoor Unit After selecting the best location, start installation to Indoor/Outdoor Unit Installation Diagram.1 Fix the unit on concrete or rigid frame firmly and horizontally by bolt nut (ø10 mm).2 When installing at roof, please consider strong wind and earthquake.3 Please fasten the installation stand firmly with bolt or nails.Model A B C DRE18***, RE24*** 613 mm 131 mm 16 mm 360.5 mm11.1.3.2 Connect the PipingConnecting the Piping to IndoorPlease make flare after inserting flare nut (locate at jointportion of tube assembly) onto the copper pipe.(In case of using long piping)Connect the piping Align the center of piping and sufficiently tighten theflare nut with fingers. Further tighten the flare nut with torque wrench inspecified torque as stated in the table.Do not overtighten, overtightening may cause gas leakage.Piping size Torque6.35 mm (1/4″) [18 N•m (1.8 kgf.m)]9.52 mm (3/8″) [42 N•m (4.3 kgf.m)]12.7 mm (1/2″) [55 N•m (5.6 kgf.m)]15.88 mm (5/8″) [65 N•m (6.6 kgf.m)]19.05 mm (3/4″) [100 N•m (10.2 kgf.m)]Connecting the Piping to OutdoorDecide piping length and then cut by using pipe cutter.Remove burrs from cut edge.
