Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect threading compound for the application's fluid or temperature.Consult material compatibility charts and select a threading compound rated for the specific service conditions.
Over-tightening pipe threads, leading to potential cracking or deformation of the fitting or pipe.Tighten to snugness followed by the recommended turns (typically 1-1.5 turns past hand-tight) based on fitting type and pressure rating.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid and gas transport
  • Structural supports and frameworks
  • Oil and gas industry pipelines
  • Chemical processing
  • General purpose industrial piping

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of pipe material with transported media to prevent corrosion.
  • Verify pressure and temperature ratings of the pipe and associated fittings meet or exceed service requirements.
  • Proper handling and storage are essential to prevent damage to pipe ends and surfaces.
