Homewerks 512-44-1-1B 1 Inch Pvc Threaded Union Sch 80

Product Description

The HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE LLC 512-44-1-1B is a 1-inch gray PVC threaded union built to heavy-duty Schedule 80 specifications. It features rubber O-rings for a reliable, leak-resistant seal and is pressure-rated at 150 psi at 73 degrees F. The union allows two threaded pipe sections to be connected or disconnected without rotating either pipe, making it a standard component in pressurized PVC piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications where easy future serviceability is required.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, pool and spa, and industrial process piping where PVC is the specified material. The threaded connection pattern conforms to ANSI B2.1, ensuring dimensional compatibility with standard pipe threads. While the union body is Schedule 80, it can be used in systems that mix Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 pipe, providing flexibility in system design and repair work.

Compatibility

Compatible with both Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC piping systems. Threaded connections conform to ANSI B2.1 standards, making this union suitable as an OEM-style or retrofit fitting in standard 1-inch threaded PVC piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before disassembly or installation. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for PVC and plastic fittings on threaded joints; avoid over-tightening, which can crack PVC threads. Inspect the rubber O-ring for seating and condition before making up the union nut.
