Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel fasteners which will corrode and stain the stainless steel.Always use 304 or 316 grade stainless steel fasteners for all connections to maintain the integrity and appearance of the installation.
Applying excessive force during bending or forming, which can lead to work hardening and potential cracking.Employ controlled bending techniques and consider annealing if significant deformation is required, especially for intricate shapes.
