purchased locally.

the outdoor unit.

distance.
4. Cut the cable 1.5m(59.1in) longer than the
pipe length.
Burrs removal
1. Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross
section of pipe/tube.
2. Put the end of the copper tube/pipe in a
downward direction as you remove burrs in
order to avoid dropping burrs into the tubing.

outdoor unit, then put them on pipe/tube having
completed burr removal.
(not possible to put them on after flaring work)
