Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect joint preparation for welding or threading.Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces and ensure proper chamfering or threading is performed according to pipe material and connection type specifications.
Over-tightening threaded connections, leading to material stress.Utilize torque wrenches to apply the manufacturer-recommended torque for threaded fittings to prevent damage and ensure a secure seal.
