Designed for full-port, pressure-rated piping systems, this union allows technicians to disconnect and reconnect sections of pipe without cutting. CPVC Schedule 80 construction provides heavier wall thickness than Schedule 40, making it suitable for elevated pressure and temperature applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in industrial process lines, hot and cold water distribution systems, and chemical handling installations where solvent-weld socket connections are standard practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis union is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing systems as well as light industrial applications where CPVC piping is specified. The socket by socket end configuration accepts standard 3-inch CPVC pipe on both sides, joined with CPVC solvent cement. It is commonly installed at equipment connections, pump flanges, and service points where periodic disconnection is required for maintenance or component replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 CPVC construction provides heavier wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSocket by socket end connections accept standard 3-inch CPVC pipe with solvent cement bonding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnion design allows in-line disconnection without cutting pipe, simplifying equipment service and replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch fitting size suits main distribution lines and equipment supply connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCPVC material resists corrosion and is rated for hot water and many chemical fluid applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems using 3-inch socket-end pipe and fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for CPVC solvent cementing. Shut off and fully depressurize the system before disassembling or installing any union fitting. Use only CPVC-rated solvent cement and primer on socket connections and allow full cure time before returning the system to service. Do not overtighten the union nut, as CPVC is susceptible to stress cracking from excessive mechanical force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: CPVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\/Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: Schedule 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Socket x Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.50 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SPEARS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 897-030c\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SPEARS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233523990834,"sku":"897-030C","price":120.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307630089.jpg?v=1780102200","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/spears-897-030c-cpvc-sch-80-union-socket-3-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
