Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fittings not rated for Schedule 160 pressure.Always select fittings specifically designed and rated for Schedule 160, brass material, and the intended operating pressure.
Over-tightening threaded connections, leading to material deformation.Apply appropriate torque to threaded connections, using thread sealant as recommended for brass piping systems.

Common Applications

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

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Verify chemical compatibility of brass with the specific fluid being handled.
  • Ensure proper support and bracing to prevent excessive stress on the pipe.
