Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper deburring of pipe ends leading to reduced sealing efficiency.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges of the pipe to create a smooth surface for secure joining.
Over-tightening threaded connections, causing stress fractures or deformation.Apply correct torque specifications recommended for the specific fitting and thread type; avoid excessive force.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure hydraulic systems
  • Specialized instrumentation tubing
  • Corrosive fluid transfer lines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Verify compatibility of brass with the specific fluid being conveyed to prevent premature corrosion.
  • Ensure adequate support is provided for longer pipe runs to prevent sagging and stress concentration.
