Frequently Asked Questions

 

1. What is the purpose of a plumbing union? A plumbing union is a fitting that allows two pipes to be connected or disconnected without having to cut the pipe. It is primarily used at the connection points of equipment like pumps, filters, and heaters, as it allows for easy removal of the equipment for servicing or replacement.

2. How is this union connected to the pipe? One side of the union will be permanently connected to a 50mm pipe using a solvent cement, while the other side will connect to the piece of equipment. The two halves of the union are then joined by a central nut that screws them together, creating a watertight seal with an internal O-ring or gasket.

3. Why would I use a union instead of a standard glued fitting? While a standard glued fitting is a permanent and secure connection, a union is used specifically in locations where you anticipate needing to disconnect the plumbing in the future. Using a union saves you the hassle of cutting and re-gluing pipes every time you need to service or replace a piece of equipment.
