Lasco U45TB-E 1 Pvc Sch 80 Universal Ball Valve Union

Product Description

The LASCO U45TB-E 1 is a Schedule 80 PVC universal ball valve with union ends, designed for use in pressure-rated piping systems where isolation and flow control are required. Built from high-impact Schedule 80 PVC, this valve delivers greater wall thickness and pressure tolerance than Schedule 40 equivalents. The union configuration allows the valve body to be removed from the line without cutting pipe, making it a practical choice for systems that require periodic service or replacement. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify this valve in commercial and industrial plumbing, irrigation, and chemical handling applications.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a reliable shutoff with true union serviceability is needed. The universal design accommodates both solvent-weld and threaded end configurations depending on the union nuts selected, giving installers flexibility across different piping setups. It is commonly installed in pool and spa equipment pads, chemical feed systems, and general water service lines where PVC Schedule 80 material is code-appropriate.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure and impact ratings versus Schedule 40
• True union design allows in-line removal and reinstallation without cutting pipe
• Universal ball valve configuration suits a wide range of plumbing and process applications
• Full-port ball provides minimal flow restriction when fully open
• Compatible with standard PVC solvent cements and fittings per ASTM standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using standard union ball valve configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing this valve. Use approved PVC Schedule 80 solvent cement and primer when making solvent-weld connections, and allow full cure time before pressurizing the system. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings for Schedule 80 PVC as defined by the fitting manufacturer.
