Visual Checks: Periodically inspect the connectors for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Look for cracks, discoloration, or deformation that could indicate a potential failure.
Leak Detection: Check for leaks around the connectors, especially after high-pressure operations.
Check Tightness: Ensure that the connectors are securely tightened to the specified torque. Over-tightening can damage the threads and under-tightening can cause leaks.
Signs for Replacement:
Visible Damage: Replace connectors that show visible signs of damage, such as cracks, deep scratches, or corrosion.
Persistent Leaks: If a connector continues to leak despite tightening and maintenance, it should be replaced.
Wear and Tear: Replace connectors that show significant wear, especially if they are frequently assembled and disassembled.
