Installation Procedure

1. Ensure proper cleaning of pipe ends and fittings to remove any debris or contaminants. 2. Apply appropriate threading compound or PTFE tape to male threads of fittings. 3. Hand-tighten fittings onto the pipe, then use a pipe wrench to tighten an additional 1-2 turns, avoiding overtightening to prevent cracking. 4. For welded connections, follow ASME B31.3 guidelines for preheating, welding, and post-weld heat treatment as required by the specific brass alloy and service conditions.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect threading compound for brass.Always use a threading compound specifically formulated for brass or a compatible PTFE tape to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure a proper seal.
Overtightening fittings, leading to cracks.Tighten fittings by hand first, then use a wrench for a final 1-2 turns. Refer to manufacturer specifications for torque limits if available.
Not considering the specific brass alloy's compatibility with the fluid.Verify that the brass alloy used in the pipe is resistant to the specific chemicals or fluids it will be conveying to prevent premature degradation or contamination.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid and gas transfer systems
  • Marine and offshore equipment
  • Heat exchangers and plumbing systems
  • Decorative and structural applications requiring corrosion resistance

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of the brass alloy with the specific fluid or environment to prevent corrosion.
  • Schedule 160 pipes are designed for high-pressure applications; verify pressure ratings before installation.
  • Avoid excessive force during installation, as brass can be susceptible to cracking under stress.
