CPVC Threaded Union

Description

The CPVC Threaded Union is a highly versatile and essential fitting for creating accessible connections in a plumbing system. Made from durable chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this three-part component consists of a female threaded end, a male threaded end, and a nut that tightens to create a secure, leak-proof seal. The unique design allows sections of a pipeline to be easily connected and disconnected for maintenance, repair, or future modifications without using solvent cement or cutting the pipe.

Uses:

• Connecting to Appliances and Valves: The primary use of a CPVC threaded union is to create a convenient point for disassembly when connecting to fixtures like water heaters, pumps, water softeners, or threaded valves that may need to be serviced or replaced.

• System Maintenance and Repair: It is a strategic component used to simplify future repair work. A union can be placed upstream and downstream of a component, allowing for quick removal of the component without affecting the rest of the piping system.

• Joining Different Sections of Pipe: It can be used to join two pipe sections in a straight run where threaded connections are required, as it eliminates the need for solvent cement.

Advantages:

• Easy Disassembly and Reassembly: Unlike a solvent-welded joint, a threaded union can be unscrewed, allowing for the quick and non-destructive removal of a pipe or component. This is a major advantage for troubleshooting or replacing parts.

• Secure and Leak-Proof Connection: The union’s design, which includes an O-ring or a gasket, ensures a reliable, leak-proof seal that can withstand high pressure and temperature. The robust nut ensures the connection remains tight and secure.

• High Temperature and Pressure Resistance: Like other CPVC fittings, the threaded union is designed to handle hot and cold water applications, withstanding temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) and maintaining durability under a wide range of operating pressures.

• Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: The material will not rust, scale, or corrode over time, ensuring a clean and consistent water flow. It is also resistant to a variety of common chemicals.
