Pro-source 898-015 Pvc Pipe Union 1.5 in Sch 80 Fipt Epdm

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 898-015 is a Schedule 80 PVC pipe union designed for joining and disconnecting sections of 1-1/2-inch PVC piping systems without cutting pipe. It features female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on both ends and an EPDM O-ring seal that provides a reliable, leak-resistant joint under pressure. The Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it appropriate for demanding industrial, chemical, and plumbing applications where higher pressure ratings are required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever future serviceability of a PVC run is needed.

This union is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa equipment piping, chemical handling lines, and irrigation systems that specify Schedule 80 PVC. The FIPT x FIPT end connections thread onto male-threaded pipe, valve bodies, or equipment ports. Its EPDM O-ring is compatible with water, mild acids, and many common chemicals handled in trade applications. It is sold individually and is a direct trade-supply fitting for licensed plumbers and pipefitters.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides greater wall thickness and higher pressure capacity than Schedule 40
• EPDM O-ring seal delivers a secure, leak-resistant union joint without thread sealant on the union nut interface
• FIPT x FIPT end connections on both sides for straightforward threaded installation onto male pipe threads
• 1-1/2-inch fitting size fits standard 1-1/2-inch PVC piping systems
• Union design allows the piping section to be disconnected and reconnected without cutting pipe or disturbing threaded joints

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for 1-1/2-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using FIPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling or installing any union fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on the FIPT threads per manufacturer and code requirements; hand-tighten the union nut and avoid over-torquing PVC components, which can crack the fitting body. Do not use this fitting with solvents, fuels, or other media not confirmed compatible with PVC and EPDM.
