Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that may cause excessive heat or burring.Utilize sharp, high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools designed for brass to ensure clean cuts and minimize material deformation.
Over-tightening fittings, leading to potential cracking or deformation of brass components.Apply appropriate torque specifications for brass fittings, using thread sealant or tape if recommended for the specific application.

Common Applications
