Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fittings not rated for Schedule 160 pressure.Always select fittings specifically designed and rated for the pressure and schedule of the pipe being used.
Over-tightening threaded connections, potentially damaging threads or the pipe.Tighten connections firmly but avoid excessive force. Consult fitting manufacturer's torque specifications if available.

Common Applications

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

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Verify compatibility with transported media to prevent corrosion.
  • Ensure proper support and bracing for long pipe runs to prevent stress.
