Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fittings not rated for Schedule 160 pressure ratings.Always select fittings that explicitly state compatibility with Schedule 160 piping and the operational pressure.
Over-tightening threaded connections, which can crack or deform the Nylon pipe.Tighten connections firmly but without excessive force; consult fitting manufacturer for torque specifications if available.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure hydraulic systems
  • Chemical and solvent transfer lines
  • Pneumatic conveying systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-temperature steam or applications exceeding the chemical resistance limits of Nylon.
  • Verify compatibility with all conveyed media and operating temperatures before installation.
