Refer to theillustrations below for examples of edges cut correctly and incorrectly.2To prevent any gas from leaking out, remove all burrs at the cut edge of thepipe, using a reamer.3Slide a flare nut on to the pipe and modify the flare.4Check that the flaring is correct, referring to the illustrations below forexamples of incorrect flaring.5Align the pipes and tighten the flare nuts first manually and then witha torque wrench, applying the following torque.6Outer Diameter (D) Depth (A)6.35 mm (1/4") 1.3mm9.52 mm (3/8") 1.8mm12.70 mm (1/2") 2.0mm15.88 mm (5/8") 2.2mm19.05 mm (3/4") 2.2mm22.23 mm (7/8") 2.2mm90OOblique Rough BurrInclined Damaged Surface Cracked Uneven Thickness◆CCCC AAAA UUUU TTTT IIII OOOO NNNNIn case of welding the pipe, you must weld with nitrogengas blowing.
