Pipe unions allow sections of threaded pipe to be connected and disconnected without rotating the pipe itself, making them a standard fitting in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial systems. The brass construction provides solid corrosion resistance in water and low-pressure gas service. The rough finish indicates unpolished, as-cast brass suited for concealed installations. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on threaded pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis union is sized for 2.5-inch nominal pipe and is well suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating loops, compressed air lines, and similar threaded-pipe applications where periodic disassembly of a pipe run is required. The FNPT connection on both ends accepts standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings throughout North America. Imported fittings of this type are commonly used in non-critical service lines where a cost-effective threaded solution is appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5-inch nominal size suits larger-diameter threaded pipe runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure rating for standard service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFNPT ends thread directly onto standard NPT male pipe ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction resists corrosion in water and low-pressure gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRough finish is suitable for concealed or utility installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnion design allows pipe disconnection without rotating the full pipe run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install threaded union for 2.5-inch nominal NPT pipe systems rated to 125 lb service class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the line fully before removing or installing any threaded union. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male NPT threads before assembly.
