PVC Pipe Fitting Union with EPDM O-Ring, 2 Socket

This Spears schedule 40 PVC union fitting is designed with socket openings on both ends, making it suitable for connecting two pipes. The smooth bore of the socket ends allows for enhanced flow, and the three-piece fitting includes a threaded connection that can be easily screwed or unscrewed to connect or disconnect pipes, providing a more efficient alternative to couplings.

Constructed of white PVC, this union fitting offers excellent chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and a lightweight design compared to metal fittings. It also features an EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) seal which provides resistance to oil, water, and some solvents.

Compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings, this union fitting is ideal for use in cold-water pressure distribution systems such as irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. It can also be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings.

With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F and a maximum pressure rating of 150 pounds per square inch (psi) at 73 degrees F, this union fitting meets ASTM International D1784 and D2466 standards for quality assurance and is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service.

This schedule 40 PVC union fitting is suitable for connecting pipes in various industries to convey drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids. Pipe fittings play a crucial role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will determine the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings come in threaded or unthreaded options, as well as in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
