Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening threaded connections.Use a calibrated torque wrench or hand-tighten followed by a specific wrench turn based on fitting type and manufacturer recommendations to prevent thread damage and leaks.
Using incompatible thread sealants or tapes.Consult material compatibility charts to ensure the chosen sealant or tape is suitable for brass and the specific fluid being conveyed.

Common Applications

  • Marine fluid systems (potable water, hydraulics)
  • Chemical processing and instrumentation
  • High-pressure pneumatic lines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper support and alignment to prevent stress concentrations on the pipe.
  • Verify chemical compatibility of the brass material with the transported fluid at operating temperatures and pressures.
