Pro-source 898-030C Cpvc Pipe Union 3 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 898-030C is a 3-inch Schedule 80 CPVC pipe union designed for joining and disconnecting sections of CPVC piping systems without cutting. The union features an EPDM O-ring seal that provides a reliable, leak-resistant connection under normal service conditions. FIPT x FIPT end connections allow the fitting to thread directly onto male-threaded pipe ends on both sides. At 3.51 pounds, this is a substantial fitting suited for industrial and commercial plumbing applications where Schedule 80 wall thickness is required for higher-pressure or chemical-resistance service.

Schedule 80 CPVC unions are commonly installed in chemical processing lines, industrial fluid handling systems, and commercial plumbing where corrosion resistance and elevated-temperature performance are priorities. The FIPT x FIPT configuration makes this fitting appropriate for systems that require periodic disassembly for maintenance or equipment swaps. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically handle Schedule 80 CPVC installations in these environments.

Key Features

• 3-inch fitting size for larger-diameter CPVC piping systems
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure and chemical resistance
• EPDM O-ring provides a positive, leak-resistant seal at the union joint
• FIPT x FIPT end connections thread directly onto male pipe ends on both sides
• CPVC material resists corrosion and handles elevated service temperatures

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before removing or installing any union fitting. Apply thread sealant rated for CPVC and EPDM compatibility on FIPT threads — do not use sealants that degrade CPVC or elastomeric O-ring materials. Avoid over-tightening the union nut, as CPVC fittings can crack under excessive mechanical stress.
