Dura Plastic PVC80U1 Pvc Sch 80 Union 1 Inch S X S

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC PVC80U1 is a 1-inch socket-by-socket union fitting manufactured to Schedule 80 PVC pressure standards. Unions allow piping systems to be disconnected and reconnected without cutting pipe, making them essential for servicing pumps, valves, filters, and other inline components. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure tolerance and impact resistance compared to Schedule 40, making this union suitable for demanding pressure piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pool and irrigation technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This union is sized at 1 inch with socket connections on both ends, accepting solvent-welded PVC pipe. It is commonly installed in residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa circulation systems, irrigation mainlines, and chemical feed lines where periodic disconnection is required for maintenance or equipment service. The socket ends accept standard 1-inch Schedule 80 or Schedule 40 PVC pipe depending on system design.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides higher pressure ratings and thicker walls than Schedule 40
• Socket-by-socket (S x S) ends accommodate solvent-welded pipe connections on both sides
• Union design allows inline disconnection without cutting pipe for equipment service
• 1-inch nominal size fits standard PVC pipe in residential and commercial pressure systems
• Chemical-resistant PVC material is compatible with chlorinated water, irrigation fluids, and many chemical solutions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch PVC Schedule 80 pressure piping systems using solvent-weld socket connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of this union should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for solvent-welded PVC. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling or installing the union. Use only PVC-rated solvent cement and primer appropriate for Schedule 80 pipe on the socket ends. Allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer guidelines before restoring system pressure.
