Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fittings or sealants.Always verify that fittings and sealants are rated for aluminum and the intended service conditions.
Over-tightening threaded connections.Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a final quarter to half turn, or as recommended by the fitting manufacturer, to prevent damage.

Common Applications

  • Structural framing and supports
  • Fluid and gas conveyance systems
  • Marine components and frameworks

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Aluminum 6061 can be susceptible to galvanic corrosion when in direct contact with dissimilar metals in a corrosive environment. Consider insulating washers or coatings.
  • Avoid exceeding the rated pressure and temperature limits for Schedule 40 aluminum pipe to prevent failure.
