Big Blue Water Filter Housing Copper Port Cracking Issue And Solution

ReportProduct Name:20-inch Big Blue Water Filter Housing,working pressure 60-80PSI,the copper ports and the pressure gauge installation part are experiencing cracking.

Impact of Cracking on Product Performance:Cracking can compromise the equipments sealing,leading to water leakage and directly affecting the normal operation of the equipment.Cracked areas can cause pressure instability in the product,increasing the risk of equipment failure.

1. Causes of Cracking

Environmental Factors：During use,environmental factors such as pressure,temperature,and humidity may impact the copper ports,accelerating material aging or causing cracks.

Human Factors：To ensure the equipment system is sealed and leak-free,installers must wrap plumbers tape around the threaded connection interfaces.The amount of plumbers tape wrapped cannot be quantified and is largely based on personal judgment.During the threading process,due to the wrapping of the plumbers tape,a larger external force is applied.If the force exceeds the stress limit of the copper ports,they will crack.

2. Product Design

  the design process of the filter housing,we strictly adhere to product design principles to ensure practicality and durability.The filter housing features a scientific structural design aimed at efficient filtration and convenient maintenance.SpecificallyPrinciples and StructureThe product design is based on fluid mechanics and material mechanics to ensure even liquid distribution during filtration,reducing resistance and improving efficiency.The filter housing is precisely combined with the copper ports,enhancing overall stability and sealing.The copper ports are connected with internal and external threads and sealed with PTFE tape,ensuring a tight fit and meeting the required tolerance force for a good seal.Material Selection for Copper PortsAs a critical part of the filter housing,the material selection and processing technology for the copper ports are essential.We have chosen a copper alloy with excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.This material can withstand the pressure during filtration and resist the erosion of various chemicals.The copper ports are processed using precision casting to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface smoothness,guaranteeing the overall quality and performance of the product.

3. Solution

Installers should control the amount of plumbers tape wrapped,avoiding excessive or insufficient wrapping,and apply pressure gradually when tightening the threads.By reasonably controlling the amount of plumbers tape and the force applied,it is possible to effectively prevent damage to the copper ports during the thread connection process.
