Key manufacturing requirements
Confirm these points on the drawing and purchase specification.
- Connection endsSpecify both ends, including thread systems, clamp profiles or flange dimensions and mating components.
- Flow and cleaning accessDefine passage geometry and any requirements for internal surface finish, cleaning and inspection access.
- Flange interfacesControl sealing faces, bolt patterns and alignment from functional datums, with machining allowance where required.
- Material and forming routeAgree the exact alloy and forming route; casting, forging and machining are separate manufacturing decisions.
- Joint acceptanceSet fit, sealing and dimensional criteria. Define any leak or pressure test separately.

Questions
Questions from OEM teams
Can the thread standard be selected from a photograph?
No. Supply the controlled thread designation and gauging requirement with the drawing.
Are clamp components and pressure fittings the same scope?
Their interfaces and acceptance plans differ. Confirm whether the order covers an individual component, a matched connection or a tested assembly.
