Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fittings not rated for Schedule 160 or Nylon material.Always specify and use fittings specifically designed for the pipe's nominal size, schedule, and material to ensure proper sealing and pressure containment.
Over-tightening connections, potentially damaging the nylon pipe or fittings.Follow manufacturer torque specifications for fittings and avoid excessive force. Nylon can be susceptible to over-compression.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer systems
  • Chemical processing pipelines
  • Pneumatic control lines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Verify chemical compatibility with the fluid being conveyed. Prolonged exposure to aggressive solvents may degrade nylon.
  • Do not exceed the rated pressure and temperature limits for this pipe material.
