Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible joining methods that compromise the pipe's integrity.Consult material compatibility charts and industry best practices for recommended brazing alloys, welding procedures, or fitting types for brass Schedule 160.
Failing to properly deburr pipe ends, leading to potential flow restrictions or leaks.Thoroughly deburr both the inside and outside edges of the pipe ends after cutting to ensure a smooth transition.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure hydraulic systems
  • Chemical processing and transport
  • Marine and offshore fluid transfer

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Verify material compatibility with the specific fluid being transported to prevent premature corrosion.
  • Ensure proper safety precautions are observed during installation, especially when working with high-pressure systems.
