Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fittings that can score or deform the nylon.Always utilize fittings specifically rated for nylon pipe and the operating pressure/temperature.
Over-tightening fittings, leading to material compromise and potential leaks.Employ torque wrenches set to the fitting manufacturer's recommended torque values for nylon.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure hydraulic lines
  • Chemical transfer and processing
  • Abrasion-resistant fluid conveyance

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Operating temperature and pressure limits must be strictly adhered to for safe operation.
  • Avoid exposure to UV radiation for prolonged periods unless a UV-resistant grade of nylon is specified.
