Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong type of primer or cement for aluminum.Always use a primer and solvent cement specifically formulated for aluminum pipe and fittings. Consult the cement manufacturer's compatibility chart.
Insufficient curing time before putting the system under pressure.Adhere strictly to the set and cure times recommended by the solvent cement manufacturer. Rushing the process can lead to joint failure.

Common Applications

  • Fluid transfer systems (water, air, non-corrosive chemicals)
  • Structural components in marine and aerospace industries
  • Heat exchangers and conduit protection

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-pressure or high-temperature steam service.
  • Aluminum 6061 may be susceptible to galvanic corrosion when in direct contact with dissimilar metals in a corrosive environment. Proper insulation or isolation may be required.
