Aqualine BU-050 Threaded Brass Union 0.5 Inch

Product Description

The AQUALINE BU-050 is a 0.5-inch threaded brass union designed for joining and disconnecting sections of pipe in plumbing, pool, and irrigation systems. Threaded unions allow technicians to separate pipe runs without cutting, making them a standard fitting for serviceability in both new construction and retrofit applications. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water service lines. At 0.2 pounds, the BU-050 is a compact, lightweight fitting that stores and handles easily on the job site. Licensed plumbers and pool service technicians are the primary installers of this fitting.

The BU-050 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a removable threaded connection is needed. Common applications include equipment connections on pool and spa systems, water heater piping, and general plumbing service points where future disconnection is anticipated. The threaded ends allow installation without specialized tools beyond pipe wrenches and thread sealant.

Installation Notes
