Installation

CAUTION:
- Replace O-rings for A/C piping with new ones. Before installing, apply compressor oil to them.
- Connection point for female-side piping is thin. So, when inserting male-side piping, take care not to deform female-side piping. Slowly insert in axial direction.
- Insert one-touch joint connection point securely until it clicks.
- After piping has been connected, pull male-side piping by hand to check that piping does not come off.
