1" FNPT x FNPT PVC Union (Purclean 26740-930)
SKU: P-WAT-3358
The P-WAT-3358 (Purclean 26740-930) is a crucial component in fluid plumbing systems. A union is a type of coupling that provides a convenient disconnect point without having to cut the pipe or rotate the assembly. This is vital for installing and removing components like pumps, valves, or filters that require periodic servicing or replacement.
Construction and Specifications
- Fitting Type: Union.
- Nominal Size: 1 inch.
- End Style: FNPT (Female National Pipe Thread) on both ends. This allows the union to be installed directly onto 1-inch male-threaded pipe or fittings.
- Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). PVC is utilized for its corrosion resistance and lightweight durability, essential for water and chemical lines in a wash environment.
Function and Benefit
The three-piece design of the union allows the two FNPT pipe ends to be attached to the plumbing and then easily joined (or separated) by twisting the central nut/ring. This capability greatly simplifies maintenance and repair work by minimizing system downtime.
