Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a union instead of a coupling?
A union has a threaded nut that lets you disconnect the joint by hand, so equipment can be removed for service without cutting pipe. A coupling forms a permanent solvent-welded joint.
Are the ends slip or threaded?
Both pipe ends are female slip sockets that solvent-weld onto 1/4 in. Schedule 80 PVC pipe. Only the central union nut is threaded.
Do I cement the union nut?
No. Cement only the two socket ends to the pipe. The union nut and its O-ring seal remain serviceable and must not be glued.
Does it fit Schedule 40 pipe?
Yes. The 1/4 in. sockets accept 1/4 in. Schedule 40 or 80 pipe, since both share the same outside diameter.
