Eaton 3250X8 Brass Pipe Union 1/2 Inch Fnptf

Product Description

The EATON 3250X8 is a straight brass pipe union designed for joining and disconnecting threaded pipe runs in industrial and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling systems. It features 1/2 inch female National Pipe Taper Fuel (FNPTF) threads on both ends and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 1,200 psi. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of fluid and gas service applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever a service-removable union connection is required in a threaded piping system.

This union is suited for industrial piping, commercial HVAC equipment connections, fuel gas distribution, and general fluid service where a straight inline union is needed. The FNPTF thread standard makes it compatible with tapered female-threaded pipe systems common in North American commercial and industrial installations. The 1-13/16 inch overall length and 1-9/16 inch hex size allow installation with standard pipe wrenches and hex wrenches in typical mechanical room and equipment room environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before disassembling or installing any union fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant rated for the service medium to the FNPTF threads before making up the connection. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as brass is softer than steel and susceptible to thread damage.
