Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Incorrectly matching fitting schedules with pipe schedules, leading to potential leaks.Always verify that the schedule of fittings matches or exceeds the schedule of the pipe to ensure system integrity.
Failure to account for thermal expansion and contraction in long pipe runs.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible connectors where significant temperature variations are expected.
