Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible thread sealant for brass fittings.Consult material compatibility charts to select a sealant specifically rated for brass to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Over-tightening connections, leading to deformation or cracking.Utilize a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque values for brass fittings to ensure a secure, leak-free seal without damaging the pipe or fitting.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure hydraulic systems
  • Chemical processing and transfer
  • Marine and offshore applications
  • Instrumentation lines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always verify material compatibility with the specific fluid or gas being conveyed.
  • Ensure proper support and anchoring of the piping system to prevent vibration-induced stress.
