Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the main advantage of a ball valve with a union? The main advantage is the combination of manual flow control with the convenience of a detachable connection. It allows you to isolate a piece of equipment and then easily disconnect it for servicing or replacement by unscrewing the union nut, all without cutting the plumbing.
2. How is this different from a regular glued ball valve? A regular glued ball valve creates a permanent connection that can only be undone by cutting the pipe. This product, however, includes a union, which allows for the entire valve to be disconnected from the plumbing at the union point, making it a much more serviceable component.
3. Where should I install this type of valve in my pool's plumbing? It is best to install a ball valve with a union before and after critical pieces of equipment like your pump, filter, or heater. This setup allows you to easily shut off the water flow and remove the equipment from the plumbing without draining the system.
