Lswteiz 2 Pack 2" PVC Union Coupling Pipe Fitting (Socket x Socket) 2 Inch PVC Slip Union PVC Adapter Coupling Schedule 40, EPDM O-Ring, White

The 2 Inch PVC Union Coupling, featuring a Socket x Socket (Slip×Slip) connection, is an indispensable fitting for any plumbing, irrigation, pool, or HVAC condensate system that requires future servicing or periodic disassembly. While couplings are generally simple components, the engineering of a quality union coupling like this one significantly improves the long-term maintainability of a system. Key Features and Performance Schedule 40 PVC Construction: The use of Schedule 40 PVC ensures durability and compliance with standard pressure and non-pressure pipe applications. The material is corrosion-resistant and capable of handling typical residential and commercial fluid dynamics. Socket (Slip) Connections: Both ends feature 2 inch slip connections designed for solvent welding (PVC cement) to standard 2 inch pipe. This creates permanent, high-strength connections on either side of the union. The Union Advantage: The core value lies in the central nut and coupling design. It allows the pipe system to be broken or separated easily (using the thread component) without requiring the pipe to be cut or the solvent-welded connections to be compromised. This is critical for tasks like replacing a pump, cleaning a filter, or isolating a zone valve. EPDM O-Ring Seal (Premium Feature): The inclusion of an EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) O-ring is what elevates this product above basic fittings. EPDM is highly resistant to heat, water, weather, and a wide variety of chemicals (including pool chlorine). The O-ring compresses tightly when the union nut is hand-tightened, guaranteeing a positive, leak-proof seal that can be opened and closed repeatedly without needing pipe dope or sealant. In summary, this 2 inch Schedule 40 Union is not merely a piece of plastic; it's a structural component that adds functional intelligence to a fluid system, ensuring that future maintenance tasks are quick, clean, and hassle-free.

This was combined with another item. It can be purchased locally so I did. The other item can't be purchased locally and was reordered and received quickly and in good order.

Seals work well, no leaks.

Best quality and durability for sewer lines to pumps !!

my only complaint is the o-ring placement, working in a tight spot horizontally, it was difficult to keep the o-ring in place, I think this part could be improved by making the slot a little deeper an tighter, so the ring cant fall off as easy
