Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools for cutting or drilling.Employ specialized carbide or diamond-tipped tooling designed for stainless steel to prevent contamination and ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate cleaning post-installation, leading to potential staining.Thoroughly clean all surfaces with a non-abrasive cleaner and water after installation, and consider a passivation treatment for optimal corrosion resistance.
