Dura Plastic CA20150 Pvc Union 3 Inch Sch 80 Female Socket

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC CA20150 is a Schedule 80 PVC union rated for 3-inch nominal pipe, designed for use in chemical handling, industrial, and commercial plumbing systems where reliable, leak-free disconnection points are required. It features a female socket end style for solvent-cement connections and an FKM fluorocarbon elastomer seal, which provides broad chemical resistance across a wide range of aggressive media. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this fitting where periodic system disassembly or component removal is necessary without cutting into the line.

This union is suited for above-ground and in-line installations in chemical processing, water treatment, pool and spa mechanical rooms, and industrial fluid handling where PVC Schedule 80 piping is specified. The FKM seal makes it appropriate for systems conveying fuels, chlorinated water, acids, and other chemically aggressive fluids that would degrade standard EPDM or Buna-N seals. Domestic manufacture supports projects requiring U.S.-made components.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 extra-heavy wall PVC construction for higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40
• 3-inch nominal female socket end style accepts solvent-cement pipe connections
• FKM fluorocarbon elastomer seal provides superior resistance to a broad range of chemicals and elevated temperatures
• Union design allows in-line disassembly without pipe cutting, simplifying maintenance and component replacement
• Domestically manufactured

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems with 3-inch nominal pipe diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local authority having jurisdiction. Depressurize and drain the system completely before disassembly or installation. Use only approved PVC solvent cement for socket connections and allow full cure time before returning the line to service. Do not overtighten the union nut, as PVC threads and sealing surfaces can crack under excessive torque.
