Garter spring seats on flare if inside diameter of garter spring becomes larger than outside diameter of female-side piping flare. Then, it fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare to anchor piping connection point.
NOTE:
When garter spring seats on flare, and fits in between male-side piping cage and female-side piping flare, it clicks.
CAUTION:
- Female-side piping connection point is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping straight in axial direction.
- Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
- After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connection does not come loose.
NOTE:
One-touch joint connection is used in points below.

- Low-pressure pipe 1 to low-pressure pipe 2 (O-ring size: 16)
- High-pressure flexible hose to condenser pipe assembly (O-ring size: 12)
- High-pressure pipe 1 to high-pressure pipe 2 (O-ring size: 8)
- High-pressure pipe 1 to condenser pipe assembly (O-ring size: 8)
