Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect thread sealant for brass fittings.Utilize thread sealants specifically formulated for brass or non-ferrous metals to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Over-tightening fittings, causing stress on the pipe.Employ proper torque specifications or a calibrated wrench to achieve a secure seal without deforming the pipe or fitting.
