Frequently asked questions

A standard AC installation toolkit includes a vacuum pump, manifold gauge set, flaring tool, pipe cutter, torque wrench, digital thermometer, and leak detector. A nitrogen regulator is required for pressure testing before evacuation and charging.

F-Gas certification is required to purchase and handle refrigerants, but not to purchase tools and equipment. However, only F-Gas certified engineers should carry out work involving refrigerant handling on systems containing fluorinated gases.

A flaring tool creates a precise cone-shaped flare on the end of copper refrigerant pipe to form a leak-free connection with flare fittings. Correct flare geometry is critical — an incorrect flare is one of the most common causes of refrigerant leaks on new installations.

Torque settings depend on pipe size. Typical values are 18 Nm for 1/4" pipe, 42 Nm for 3/8", 55 Nm for 1/2", and 65 Nm for 5/8". Always refer to the outdoor unit manufacturer's installation manual for specified torque values.
