Pfister 970-0280 Union Tailpiece Tub Shower

Product Description

The PFISTER 970-0280 is a union tailpiece designed as a replacement or service component for residential tub and shower plumbing assemblies. The tailpiece connects the valve body to the downstream piping, maintaining a sealed flow path through the trim assembly. This part is specific to the 01 Series 3-handle configuration and is typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced service technicians during valve repair or fixture trim replacement.

The 970-0280 is intended for use within the PFISTER 01 Series 3-handle tub and shower system. This series uses a three-handle layout with separate controls for hot, cold, and diverter functions. The union tailpiece supports proper alignment and sealing between the valve and trim components in this configuration. It is suited for residential bathroom applications where original components require replacement due to wear or damage.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply to the affected fixture and relieve system pressure before disassembling any valve or trim components. Inspect seating surfaces and supply connections for wear before installing the new tailpiece. Avoid over-tightening union connections, which can distort sealing surfaces and cause leaks.
