Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fittings that are not compatible with Schedule 160 dimensions.Always verify that all associated fittings, flanges, and couplings are explicitly rated for and dimensionally compatible with Schedule 160 pipe for the specified nominal size.
Over-tightening connections, potentially deforming the pipe or fittings.Follow manufacturer torque specifications for fittings. Over-tightening can compromise the integrity of the pipe and create stress points.

Common Applications
