When connectling flare nuts, smear both inside and outside with refrigeration oil, screw it
hand tight and then tighten it with the spanner and torque wrench.
Refer to Table 4.5 to check for proper torque(Over tighting will damage
the nut and lead to leakage).
Examine and test the connection pipe for leaks, and then insulate the connection pipe, as
shown in the Fig.4.12.
Use the medium-sized insulaton strip to insulate the coupler of the gas pipe.
