1. Enhance sealing: Since the seal in compression fittings relies on the compression mechanism (ferrule/sleeve), the sealing performance is relatively weak; therefore, special attention must be paid to ensuring a secure seal during use to prevent leakage or seepage.
2. Material selection: Compression fittings can be made from various materials, such as galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper, or plastic. When selecting a material, consider the properties of the fluid within the pipeline to ensure the fitting's service life and safety.
3. Avoid overtightening: Because these fittings rely on a compression mechanism for the connection, overtightening can deform or damage the components, compromising the seal or even causing direct leakage. Consequently, care should be taken to tighten the fitting appropriately without applying excessive force.
4. Consider the operating environment: Factors such as temperature, pressure, and fluid properties must be taken into account to avoid fitting failure caused by use in harsh operating conditions.
