This union allows technicians to disconnect and reconnect pipe runs without cutting, making it a practical fitting for gas, steam, and mechanical piping installations. The extra heavy wall rating provides additional strength and durability over standard fittings, and the black finish is typical of fittings used in gas distribution and industrial piping. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis union is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded union connection is required. Common applications include gas supply lines, steam systems, and mechanical room piping where maintenance access and future serviceability are priorities. The 1-inch size fits standard Schedule 40 and extra heavy threaded pipe, making it a go-to component in boiler rooms, utility spaces, and industrial installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra heavy malleable iron construction for increased pressure and mechanical load capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas and steam piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch threaded connection for compatibility with standard pipe sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnion design allows pipe disconnection without cutting or threading new pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 1.13 pounds — solid, full-bodied fitting construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded union fitting for 1-inch extra heavy malleable iron piping systems in gas, steam, and mechanical piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, and ASME B16.3 standards for malleable iron fittings. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling or installing this union. Apply appropriate thread sealant rated for the service medium — use thread compound or PTFE tape approved for gas service on gas lines. Do not overtighten the union nut; hand-snug plus a controlled wrench turn is standard practice for threaded malleable iron fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Heavy Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.13 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701201066\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: BMI USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20106\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346221203762,"sku":"20106","price":38.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553949.jpg?v=1782074372","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-20106-pipe-union-1-inch-extra-heavy-black","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
