Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong type of solder for brass.Always use a solder specifically rated for brass or copper alloys and ensure it's compatible with lead-free requirements if applicable.
Inadequate heating of the joint, leading to poor solder flow.Apply heat evenly to both the fitting and the pipe to achieve the correct temperature for capillary action and proper solder bonding.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer systems
  • Marine and offshore applications
  • Chemical processing pipelines
