Homewerks 520-01-34-34B-Z 3/4 in Dielectric Union Lead Free

Product Description

The HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE LLC 520-01-34-34B-Z is a 3/4-inch lead-free dielectric union designed to join dissimilar pipe materials while preventing electrolytic and galvanic corrosion at the connection point. It features a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) inlet on one end and a copper solder joint on the other, making it suitable for transitions between ferrous and copper piping systems. Licensed plumbers install this fitting in potable water and hydronic systems where code requires isolation between incompatible metals. The lead-free construction meets regulatory requirements for drinking water applications.

This dielectric union is used in residential and light commercial plumbing where copper tubing meets threaded steel or galvanic-incompatible pipe. Typical installation scenarios include water heater connections, boiler supply and return lines, and any transition point where copper meets galvanized or black iron pipe. The FIPT x copper solder joint configuration suits standard plumbing rough-in and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Lead-free construction for compliance with potable water regulations
• Female iron pipe thread x copper solder joint end configuration
• Prevents electrolysis and galvanic action at dissimilar-metal junctions
• 3/4-inch nominal pipe size for common residential and commercial plumbing applications
• Sold in a package quantity of 30 units for stocking or multi-fixture jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-duty fitting for 3/4-inch female iron pipe thread to copper solder joint transitions in residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into existing piping. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male iron pipe threads mating to the FIPT end, and use appropriate flux and solder on the copper solder joint end. Do not overtighten the union nut, as over-compression can damage the dielectric sleeve and defeat its isolation purpose.
