Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass alloys not rated for hydraulic pressures.Always specify and verify the use of high-strength, corrosion-resistant brass alloys suitable for the intended hydraulic system's pressure and fluid compatibility.
Inadequate surface preparation leading to sealing failures.Ensure all mating surfaces are meticulously cleaned, deburred, and free from any foreign matter or machining marks that could compromise seal integrity.
