Advantages
1. Productivity of installation is high, and there is no real requirement for specialized skills for installation to happen.
2. For systems operating under low pressure, low temperatures, and without vibration issues, the leakage integrity of such setups tends to be good enough for the purposes.
Disadvantages
1.The pipe and fitting have different rates when it comes to thermal expansion. With fast temperature changes, leaks might happen because the materials react differently to the heat.
2.The bottom of the thread has a sharp notch, which causes stress to concentrate heavily there. Vibrations can lead to fatigue failure in these threaded pipe fittings due to this stress build-up over time.
Plumbing systems that can bring risks, they must avoid using threaded connections. Threads being visible, makes threaded joints weaker, meaning they might have more corrosion and can get fatigue damage quicker because of that possibility being bigger.
