Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible thread sealant for aluminum.Utilize sealants specifically rated for use with aluminum to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Over-tightening fittings, leading to thread damage or pipe deformation.Adhere to recommended torque specifications or use gentle, progressive tightening to avoid stressing the pipe and fitting.

Common Applications

  • Structural framing and supports
  • Hydraulic and pneumatic lines
  • Marine and offshore equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not rated for high-temperature applications exceeding aluminum's melting point or softening range.
  • Ensure compatibility with transported media to avoid chemical degradation or corrosion.
