CPVC Union Ball Valve

Description

The CPVC Union Ball Valve is a highly practical and essential component for creating a serviceable and controllable point in a plumbing system. Made from durable chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this fitting features a central ball valve for quick quarter-turn on/off flow control. On one side, it has a standard solvent-weld or threaded connection. On the other side, it has a union connection, which consists of a nut and a sealing ring that allows the valve to be easily unscrewed and removed from the pipeline. This dual function makes it an ideal solution for applications where both flow control and future access are required.

Uses:

• Flow Control and Maintenance: The primary use of a union ball valve is to provide a shut-off point for a line while also serving as a convenient point of disconnection for a component. This is common when installing water heaters, pumps, filters, or other appliances that may need to be serviced or replaced.

• Isolating a Section: It is used to isolate a specific section of a pipeline from the rest of the system for repairs or new installations without affecting the water supply to the entire building.

• Repair and Replacement: The union feature allows for easy removal of the valve itself if it ever needs to be replaced, without cutting the pipe.

Advantages:

• Enhanced Serviceability: The union feature is a major advantage, as it simplifies future maintenance and repair tasks by allowing the valve to be disconnected and reconnected without tools or solvent cement.

• Secure and Leak-Proof Connection: The combination of the solvent-weld bond and the leak-proof union seal ensures a reliable, long-lasting, and durable joint.

• High Temperature and Pressure Resistance: Like other CPVC fittings, it 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.
