Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fittings for the pipe schedule and material.Always specify and use brass fittings explicitly rated for Schedule 160 and compatible with the brass pipe material to ensure system integrity.
Insufficient support for long pipe runs, leading to vibration or sagging.Install appropriate pipe hangers or supports at recommended intervals based on pipe diameter, weight, and operating conditions to prevent stress on the system.

Common Applications

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

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Verify compatibility with all transported fluids to prevent premature corrosion or material degradation.
  • Do not exceed the maximum rated pressure and temperature for Schedule 160 brass pipe.
