Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fitting types or sizes that are not rated for Schedule 160 pressure and the pipe's outer diameter.Always verify fitting specifications to ensure compatibility with the 1.0" Schedule 160 brass seamless pipe's OD (4.630") and pressure rating.
Inadequate surface preparation of the pipe ends or fittings, leading to weak or leaky joints.Thoroughly clean and degrease pipe ends and fitting bores, and apply flux evenly to ensure a strong, leak-free bond during brazing or threading.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure hydraulic systems
  • Chemical processing and transfer lines
  • Marine and offshore applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility with the specific fluid being conveyed to prevent premature corrosion or material degradation.
  • Always adhere to local building codes and industry standards for installation and pressure ratings.
