Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fittings for aluminum pipe.Always use fittings specifically designed for or compatible with Aluminum 6061 to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure a proper seal.
Over-tightening threaded connections.Hand-tighten threaded connections and then apply a quarter to half turn with a wrench. Over-tightening can strip threads or damage the pipe.

Common Applications

  • Fluid transfer systems in corrosive environments
  • Structural components in marine or aerospace industries
  • Heat exchanger tubing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-pressure applications exceeding the material's rated capacity.
  • Verify compatibility with transported fluids to prevent chemical degradation.
