Pro-source 898-010C Cpvc Pipe Union 1 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 898-010C is a 1-inch CPVC pipe union designed for Schedule 80 pressure piping systems. It features female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on both ends and an EPDM O-ring seal at the union joint. CPVC construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for hot and cold water distribution, chemical lines, and industrial fluid handling. The EPDM O-ring provides a reliable, leak-resistant seal when the union nut is tightened, making break-down and reconnection of piping sections straightforward. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on commercial or industrial systems where a serviceable union connection is required.

This union is appropriate for Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. Typical uses include chemical processing lines, hot and cold water distribution, pool and spa equipment plumbing, and HVAC condensate or water-treatment piping. The FIPT x FIPT end connections allow the fitting to thread directly onto Schedule 80 CPVC male-threaded pipe or fittings. Both ends accept standard 1-inch NPT-compatible threads.

Key Features

• 1-inch fitting size for Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems
• FIPT x FIPT end connections for threaded assembly onto male-threaded pipe or adapters
• EPDM O-ring union seal resists heat, ozone, and a wide range of chemicals
• CPVC material provides corrosion resistance for hot water and chemical service
• Union design allows piping sections to be disconnected and reconnected without cutting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems using 1-inch FIPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling or installing any union fitting. Apply CPVC-compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly; do not use petroleum-based compounds on CPVC fittings. Hand-tighten the union nut first, then snug with a strap wrench — do not use metal pipe wrenches directly on CPVC, as over-torquing can crack the fitting body.
