Spears Pvc Sch 80 Pvc Union Socket Buna 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The SPEARS PVC SCH 80 is a 1/2-inch PVC union fitting with socket (SOC) end connections and a Buna-N O-ring seal, manufactured to Schedule 40 pressure ratings. PVC unions allow piping systems to be disconnected and reconnected without cutting pipe, making them a standard component in pump installations, filter systems, and chemical feed lines. Buna-N elastomer provides reliable sealing across a broad range of water and mild chemical service conditions. This fitting is intended for installation by licensed plumbers, pool and spa technicians, and irrigation professionals working with PVC pressure piping systems.

This union is suited for residential and light commercial applications including pool and spa equipment connections, water treatment systems, and general potable or non-potable water distribution. The socket-style ends accept standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe for solvent-cement joining. Typical installations include pump suction and discharge connections where periodic service access is required without disturbing the surrounding piping.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified trade professional in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain the affected line before disassembly or solvent-cementing. Use appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement on socket ends per manufacturer instructions and allow full cure time before pressurizing. Do not overtighten the union nut, as PVC threads are susceptible to cracking under excessive torque.
