Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible joining methods not rated for Schedule 160 pressure and brass material.Always verify that the chosen joining method (brazing alloy, welding filler, or thread sealant) is specifically designed for high-pressure Schedule 160 brass piping systems and the intended service fluid.
Insufficient deburring of pipe ends, leading to flow restriction or compromised joint integrity.Thoroughly deburr both the inside and outside edges of the pipe ends after cutting to ensure a smooth internal surface and a secure, leak-free connection.

Common Applications

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

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation when working with brass and any associated joining materials.
  • Verify material compatibility with the specific fluid being conveyed to prevent premature corrosion or degradation.
