PVC Pipe Fitting Union, 1 Socket

This Spears schedule 40 PVC union fitting features socket openings on both ends, making it suitable for connecting two pipes. The smooth bore of the socket ends enhances flow, and the fitting, made of white PVC, offers chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter than metal fittings. Additionally, it includes a three-piece design with a threaded connection that allows for easier connection and disconnection compared to couplings. The EPDM seal provides resistance to oil, water, and certain solvents.

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

With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F and a pressure rating of 150 psi at 73 degrees F, this 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. It is ideal for connecting pipes used in conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in various industries.

Pipe fittings are essential components in many industries for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping. When choosing pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will impact the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, with a variety of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Spears Manufacturing, based in Sylmar, CA, has been producing thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems since 1969. The company meets the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001 standard for quality management.

In summary, this Spears schedule 40 PVC union fitting with socket openings on both ends is designed for easy connection and disconnection of two pipes. Its PVC construction provides strength and resistance to chemicals and corrosion, and the EPDM seal offers added resistance to oil, water, and some solvents. With its high-quality design and NSF certification, it is an ideal choice for potable water service and various industrial applications.
