Homewerks Worldwide Llc 512-14-12-12B Pvc Slip Union

Product Description

The HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE LLC 512-14-12-12B is a 1/2 inch gray PVC solvent weld slip union rated at 150 psi at 73 degrees F. Built to heavy-duty Schedule 80 standards with rubber O-rings, this union allows a threaded connection point in a PVC line so the pipe can be disconnected and reconnected without cutting. Plumbers and pipe fitters use it in pressure lines, irrigation systems, pool equipment plumbing, and chemical handling runs where disassembly may be needed down the line. Compliance with ASTM D2466 confirms dimensional and material consistency for reliable solvent weld joints.

This slip union is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where PVC pressure pipe is the primary material. Its dual-schedule compatibility makes it practical in mixed systems where Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 pipe are both present. Typical install scenarios include pump discharge lines, filter headers, and utility water lines. The rubber O-ring seat supports a positive seal at the union face, reducing the chance of weeping joints under sustained pressure.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 heavy-duty PVC construction for higher pressure and impact resistance compared to standard Schedule 40 fittings
• Rated at 150 psi at 73 degrees F for reliable service in standard residential and light commercial pressure lines
• Rubber O-ring seal at union face provides a positive, leak-resistant connection point
• Compatible with both Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 pipe, supporting use in mixed systems
• Solvent weld slip ends for a permanent, pressure-rated bond on each side of the union
• Complies with ASTM D2466 for dimensional accuracy and material quality

Compatibility

Designed for use with either Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC pipe in 1/2 inch diameter. Suitable as an OEM-style or replacement union in PVC pressure plumbing systems where solvent weld connections are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipe fitters following local plumbing codes and ASTM solvent weld procedures. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting in the union. Use a PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 80 fittings on the slip ends, and allow full cure time before restoring pressure. Do not over-tighten the union nut, as PVC threads can crack under excess torque.
