a. Check to make sure there is no scratches, dust, etc., on the flare and union.
b. Align the flared surface with the axial center of the union.
c. Use a torque wrench, and tighten to the specified torque. The tightening torque for R410A is the same as the conventional
torque value for R22. Be careful, because if the torque is too weak, it may lead to a gas leak. If it is too strong, it may split
the flare nut or make it impossible to remove the flare nut.
