Bon 417-5040 Male Buttress Thread Slip Union Tailpiece

Product Description

The BON 417-5040 is a 2-inch male buttress thread by 2-inch slip union tailpiece used to create a removable, leak-resistant connection in piping assemblies. The buttress thread profile handles axial load and pressure better than standard thread forms, making it a reliable choice for pool, spa, and water treatment plumbing where union connections are standard practice. The slip end accepts standard 2-inch pipe for solvent-welded installation. Licensed plumbers and pool service technicians install this fitting when a serviceable union joint is needed for pump, filter, or equipment connections.

This tailpiece is suited for residential and light commercial pool and spa systems, water treatment equipment, and general plumbing applications requiring a union-style separation point. It is typically installed on pump housings, filter canisters, and inline equipment where periodic removal for service or winterization is expected. The 2-inch sizing accommodates common flow rates found in residential pool circulation systems.

Key Features

• 2-inch male buttress thread provides a strong axial-load-resistant connection
• 2-inch slip end accepts standard pipe for solvent-weld assembly
• Union tailpiece design allows the connection to be disassembled without cutting pipe
• Sized for common residential pool, spa, and water treatment plumbing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement tailpiece for 2-inch union assemblies in pool, spa, and water treatment plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pool service technician. Shut off the circulation pump and relieve system pressure before disassembling any union connection. The slip end is solvent-welded to schedule-rated PVC pipe following local plumbing code requirements. Hand-tighten the buttress thread union nut first, then snug as directed by the union body manufacturer — do not overtighten, as buttress threads can crack plastic union bodies if over-stressed.
