Pro-source 898-015C Cpvc Pipe Union 1-1/2 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 898-015C is a 1-1/2 inch Schedule 80 CPVC pipe union designed for use in pressure-rated thermoplastic piping systems. It features female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on both ends and an EPDM o-ring seat that provides a reliable, leak-resistant seal at the union joint. The Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it suitable for higher-pressure applications compared to Schedule 40 fittings. This union allows a piping run to be disconnected and reconnected without cutting pipe, which is essential for servicing pumps, valves, and inline equipment. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on chemical, industrial, or potable water systems.

This union is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, pool and spa circulation systems, and industrial process piping where CPVC is specified for its chemical resistance and temperature tolerance. FIPT x FIPT end connections allow threaded installation into existing Schedule 80 CPVC piping networks. Typical applications include equipment isolation points on pump discharge lines, water treatment systems, and chemical feed lines where periodic maintenance access is required.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 CPVC construction rated for higher operating pressures than Schedule 40
• EPDM o-ring seat delivers a positive, leak-resistant seal at the union interface
• FIPT x FIPT end connections for threaded installation into standard pipe threads
• 1-1/2 inch fitting size fits standard 1-1/2 inch CPVC pipe runs
• Union design allows disconnection and reconnection without cutting pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement union for Schedule 80 CPVC thermoplastic piping systems using 1-1/2 inch female iron pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and applicable IPC requirements. Depressurize and drain the affected piping section completely before disassembly. Use thread sealant rated for CPVC and EPDM compatibility on FIPT threads. Do not over-tighten the union nut, as excess torque can crack CPVC fittings.
