d) Flare processing
Make certain that a clamp bar and copper pipe have been cleaned.
By means of the clamp bar, perform the flare processing correctly.
Use either a flare tool for R410A or conventional flare tool.
Flare processing dimensions differ according to the type of flare tool. Be careful. When
using a conventional flare tool, be sure to secure “dimension A” by using a gage for size
adjustment.
