Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using improper threading tools for brass, leading to damage.Utilize thread chasers and lubricants specifically designed for brass to prevent galling and thread stripping.
Over-tightening threaded connections, causing stress fractures.Employ torque wrenches to tighten connections to the manufacturer's recommended torque values, ensuring a secure seal without over-stressing the material.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer systems
  • Instrumentation and control lines
  • Corrosive fluid handling
