Homewerks 520-02-34-34B-Z Dielectric Union 3/4 in Mip X Copper

Product Description

The HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE LLC 520-02-34-34B-Z is a lead-free dielectric union designed to join dissimilar metal piping systems while preventing galvanic corrosion and electrolysis. It connects a 3/4 inch male iron pipe thread (MIP) fitting on one end to a 3/4 inch copper solder joint on the other. The dielectric barrier isolates the two metal types electrically, stopping the electrochemical reaction that causes accelerated pipe degradation at transition points. Licensed plumbers install this fitting in residential and light commercial potable water systems where steel or galvanized iron pipe meets copper distribution lines.

This fitting is used wherever a steel or galvanized iron supply line transitions to copper tubing in residential or commercial plumbing installations. Common applications include water heater connections, main service entries, and branch line transitions. The lead-free construction meets modern potable water code requirements. It is sold in packages of 20 units, making it practical for plumbing contractors stocking service trucks or job-site supply.

Key Features

• Dielectric barrier prevents galvanic corrosion and electrolysis at dissimilar metal joints
• Lead-free construction meets safe drinking water act compliance requirements for potable water use
• 3/4 inch MIP threaded inlet for connection to steel or galvanized iron pipe
• 3/4 inch copper solder joint outlet for sweat connection to copper tubing
• Packaged 20 units per package for contractor convenience

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing systems requiring a 3/4 inch iron pipe thread to 3/4 inch copper solder transition with dielectric isolation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Thread the MIP end into the iron or galvanized fitting using pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape, and sweat-solder the copper end using standard lead-free solder and flux. Do not over-tighten the threaded connection, as this can crack the dielectric insert.
