Dura Plastic PVC80U12 Pvc Sch 80 Union 0.5 in Socket

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC PVC80U12 is a 1/2 inch Schedule 80 PVC union fitting with socket by socket (S x S) end connections. It allows piping runs to be broken apart and reconnected without cutting pipe, making it a standard component in pressurized PVC systems. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure rating and impact resistance compared to Schedule 40. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this fitting in chemical, irrigation, pool, and water distribution systems where solvent-welded joints are required.

This union is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa plumbing, and industrial process piping that uses rigid PVC pressure pipe. The S x S configuration accepts standard 1/2 inch PVC pipe into both ends for solvent-weld assembly. It is a go-to fitting when a service-removable connection is needed inline without threading or flanging the pipe.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure rating and thicker walls than Schedule 40
• Socket by socket (S x S) ends accept solvent-cement bonding to standard 1/2 inch PVC pipe
• Union design allows inline disassembly and reassembly without cutting pipe
• Compatible with standard PVC solvent cements and primers per ASTM D2564
• Gray Schedule 80 coloring for quick visual identification in mixed-material systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC pressure piping systems using 1/2 inch socket connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for solvent-welded PVC. Always depressurize and drain the system before disassembling or installing the union. Use the correct Schedule 80 PVC primer and solvent cement for the joint size and application temperature range. Allow full cure time before returning the system to operating pressure.
