Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible sealants that degrade brass over time.Consult the hydraulic system's fluid compatibility chart and select sealants specifically rated for brass and the operating fluid.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to material stress or cracking.Adhere to specified torque values during installation, using a calibrated torque wrench to ensure even and controlled tightening.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Fabrication
  • Custom Hydraulic Valve Bodies
  • High-Pressure Fluid Connectors

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining brass to avoid inhalation of dust.
  • Avoid contact with strong acids or abrasive cleaning agents that can damage the brass surface.
