Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fittings not rated for Schedule 160 pressure.Always select fittings specifically designed and rated for Schedule 160 or higher pressures to maintain system integrity.
Inadequate pipe support leading to sagging or stress points.Implement a robust pipe support system with appropriate spacing and bracing to carry the weight of the pipe and its contents, preventing undue stress.

Common Applications
