Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect thread sealant for the fluid being conveyed.Consult chemical compatibility charts to select a sealant resistant to the specific fluid and operating conditions.
Overtightening connections, leading to pipe deformation or failure.Use torque specifications where available or tighten connections until snug and then an additional quarter-turn for threaded fittings, or follow manufacturer's recommended torque for compression fittings.

Common Applications

  • Industrial Fluid Transfer
  • Hydraulic Systems
  • Structural Support Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not recommended for use with abrasive slurries or high-velocity particulate flows without proper erosion control.
  • Ensure compatibility of brass with all conveyed fluids, especially strong acids or ammonia-based solutions.
