It prevents galvanic corrosion at the joint where dissimilar metals meet by incorporating an electrically isolating sleeve and washer. The fitting ships ready to solder on the copper side and thread on the iron or steel side. At 0.84 pounds, it is a compact, field-ready component suitable for residential and light commercial plumbing installations. Lead-free construction meets current federal and state safe-drinking-water requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dielectric union is used wherever a copper supply line connects to a galvanized steel, black iron, or other ferrous-threaded fitting or appliance — such as water heaters, boilers, pressure-reducing valves, and isolation valves. The copper sweat end is soldered directly to 1-1\/2 inch copper tubing, while the female NPT end threads onto the mating iron pipe or appliance connection. Licensed plumbers install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications across residential and light commercial projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDielectric isolation prevents galvanic corrosion between copper and ferrous pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch copper sweat (solder) inlet for direct connection to copper tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale NPT threaded outlet for connection to iron or steel pipe and appliances\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free construction complies with federal Safe Drinking Water Act requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnion design allows the joint to be disconnected and reassembled without cutting pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation dielectric union for 1-1\/2 inch copper sweat to female NPT threaded connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IAPMO or IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before soldering or threading. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male iron threads before engaging the female NPT end; do not over-torque. Allow all solder joints to fully cool before pressurizing the system, and inspect for leaks before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper Sweat x Female NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dielectric Union\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.84 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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-1509\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MATCO-NORCA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233290125618,"sku":"DUN-1509","price":59.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307633226.jpg?v=1780096404","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/matco-norca-dun-1509-dielectric-union-1-1-2-in-copper-sweat-x-fpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
