Cutting or Extending the Pipe
A 24.6ft (7.5m) pipe is supplied with the air conditioner. (optional)
The length of the pipe can be:
Extended up to “A”
Shortened as required
If you need a pipe longer than 24.6ft (7.5m):
You must extend the assembly cable.
For further details on how much refrigerant(R410A) should be
added, refer to Page 13.
1
Make sure that you have the required tools (pipe cutter, reamer, flaring tool
and pipe holder.)
2
If you want to shorten the pipe, cut it using a pipe cutter, ensuring that the cut
edge remains at 90° with the side of the pipe (see examples of correctly and
incorrectly cut edges below.)
Oblique Rough Burr
3
To prevent a gas leak, remove all burrs at the cut edge of the pipe using a
reamer.

Put a flare nut slightly into the pipe and modify the flare.
