Pro-source 898-007C 3/4 in Cpvc Pipe Union Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 898-007C is a 3/4-inch Schedule 80 CPVC pipe union designed for threaded pipe systems requiring a reliable, removable connection. The union uses an EPDM O-ring seal to create a leak-resistant joint without the need for thread compound at the union face. Schedule 80 CPVC construction provides the wall thickness and pressure rating required for demanding industrial and commercial plumbing lines. Both end connections are female iron pipe thread (FIPT), allowing direct thread-in installation on standard male-threaded pipe or fittings. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever a section of pipe must be periodically disconnected for service or replacement.

This union is suited for residential and commercial plumbing applications involving hot and cold water lines, chemical distribution systems, and industrial process piping where CPVC material compatibility is required. Schedule 80 CPVC is commonly specified in systems handling corrosive fluids or elevated temperatures where standard PVC or metal fittings are not appropriate. The FIPT x FIPT configuration makes this fitting a drop-in threaded replacement in existing Schedule 80 CPVC systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 CPVC construction for higher pressure and temperature ratings compared to Schedule 40
• EPDM O-ring provides a positive, leak-resistant seal at the union face
• FIPT x FIPT end connections for direct installation on male-threaded pipe ends
• 3/4-inch fitting size for standard nominal pipe sizing
• Union design allows pipe section removal without cutting, simplifying maintenance and service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/4-inch Schedule 80 CPVC threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for CPVC piping. Shut off and depressurize the water or process line before disassembling or installing the union. Apply appropriate CPVC-compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape to the FIPT threads. Do not overtighten threaded plastic fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
