Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fittings that do not match the pipe's OD and pressure rating.Always verify fitting specifications to ensure they are designed for 1.282" OD Nylon pipe and the intended operating pressure (Schedule 160).
Over-tightening connections, which can deform the nylon pipe and compromise the seal.Hand-tighten connections and then provide an additional quarter to half turn with a wrench, or follow fitting manufacturer's specific torque recommendations for nylon.

Common Applications

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

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure operating temperature and pressure are within the specified limits for Nylon Schedule 160 pipe.
  • Avoid exposure to UV radiation unless specifically rated for outdoor use, as it can degrade nylon over time.
