The fitting uses a 4-bolt flanged design that allows for clean disassembly without cutting pipe, making it well suited for mechanical rooms, boiler connections, and water service entry points where future service access is required. At 12 pounds, this is a heavy-duty fitting built for demanding plumbing and hydronic heating applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of union.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dielectric union is intended for installations where copper and ferrous or dissimilar metal piping systems must be joined without creating an electrolytic cell. Common application scenarios include connections at water heaters, boilers, and circulator pumps in both residential and commercial plumbing systems. The 2-1\/2 inch size makes it appropriate for larger-diameter mains and primary distribution lines rather than branch or fixture supply runs. The flanged configuration with 4 bolts provides a secure, pressure-rated mechanical joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDielectric fitting construction isolates dissimilar metals to prevent galvanic corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-bolt flanged design allows disassembly and reassembly without cutting pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-1\/2 inch copper sweat inlet connects directly to cleaned and fluxed copper pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemale threaded (FPT) outlet connects to standard male-threaded pipe or fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy construction at 12 pounds suits high-demand commercial and residential installs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation flanged dielectric union for 2-1\/2 inch copper sweat to female NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing and hydronic heating applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off and drain the water supply completely before cutting into any existing piping. Clean and flux copper pipe ends thoroughly before sweating the union inlet, and apply thread sealant to the male threaded connection at the FPT end. Do not over-tighten flange bolts unevenly — follow a cross-pattern sequence to achieve a uniform seal at the gasket face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper Sweat x Female Pipe Thread (FPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnion Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dielectric Flanged Union\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-Bolt Flange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MATCO-NORCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: dun-0909\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MATCO-NORCA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51234056831282,"sku":"DUN-0909","price":283.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307629240.jpg?v=1780116378","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/matco-norca-dun-0909-dielectric-union-2-1-2-in-copper-sweat-x-fpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
