Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe length.
2. Burr removal
• Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross sec-
tion of pipe/tube.
• Put the end of the copper tube/pipe in a downward
direction as you remove burrs in order to avoid drop-
ping burrs into the tubing.

unit, then put them on pipe/tube having completed
burr removal.
(not possible to put them on after flaring work)
