Built from heavy-duty white Schedule 80 PVC, this union provides a removable, leak-resistant connection rated at 150 psi at 73 degrees F, with a maximum operating temperature of 150 degrees F. The EPDM O-ring seal seats securely between mating faces, eliminating the need for additional thread sealant at the union joint. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever a section of piping may need periodic removal or servicing without cutting the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis union is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and industrial fluid-handling applications where PVC is an approved material. The threaded FIP ends comply with ANSI B1.20.1, making it compatible with standard male-threaded pipe and fittings. It can be installed on either Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 pipe, giving installers flexibility when working in mixed-schedule systems. The white PVC construction resists corrosion and is appropriate for cold and warm water service within the rated temperature range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty Schedule 80 PVC construction rated for higher-pressure service than Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEPDM O-ring seal provides a reliable, pressure-tight union joint face seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi pressure rating at 73 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum service temperature of 150 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFIP x FIP threaded ends comply with ANSI B1.20.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with both Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a threaded union replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using 1-inch female iron pipe (FIP) threaded connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before disassembling or installing any union fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads being engaged into the FIP ends; do not overtighten threaded PVC fittings, as over-torquing can crack the fitting body. Confirm the EPDM O-ring is properly seated in the union ring groove before making up the union nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: FIP x FIP (Female Iron Pipe Threaded)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B1.20.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: Schedule 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: EPDM O-ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi at 73 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.394 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BK\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164-135HC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345207787826,"sku":"164-135HC","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310549740.jpg?v=1782051518","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bk-164-135hc-1-in-fip-schedule-80-pvc-union","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
