1/2 in. Schedule 40 PVC Pipe Union Fitting Slip x Slip (100-Pack)

Slip unions are used when you have a need to take the pipes apart again. Like the couplings they are used to join 2 pipes together. However, unions have some special properties that allow them to be taken apart for repairs or for mobility. Once the pipes are connected to the 2 halves of the union, they screw together (without the need for the pipes to turn) and include a washer to provide a water-tight seal. Slip Unions are used when joining to 2 smooth pipe ends together. The male and female union sections cement or glue onto the smooth pipe ends and then the union is screwed together to form the joint. All of our Schedule 40 fittings are NSF rated 14 and 61, which means they are certified for use with potable (drinking) water. Maximum temperature is 140¡ãF.Slip unions are used when you have a need to take the pipes apart againUnions have some special properties that allow them to be taken apart for repairs or for mobilityOnce the pipes are connected to the 2 halves of the union, they screw together (without the need for the pipes to turn) and include a washer to provide a water-tight sealSlip unions are used when joining to 2 smooth pipe ends together, the male and female union sections cement or glue onto the smooth pipe ends and then the union is screwed together to form the jointAll of our schedule 40 fittings are NSF rated 14 and 61, which means they are certified for use with potable (drinking) water, maximum temperature is 140¡ãFPVC schedule 40 pipe and pressure fittings are used in irrigation, underground sprinkler systems, swimming pools, outdoor applications and cold water supply lines
