5.1.2 Tightening Flare Nuts
1. When connecting the flare nuts, coat the flare (inside and outside) with polyvinyl ether (PVE)
refrigeration oil only.
2.Initially, hand tighten the flare nuts using 3 or 4 turns.
3.Finishing tightening the flare nuts using both a torque wrench and a bac
kup wrench as shown in
Figure 5-3.

NOTE
Do not use polyolyester (POE) or any other type of mineral oil as a thread
lubricant. These lubricants are not compatible with PVE oil used in this system
and create oil sludge leading to equipment damage and system malfunction.
