Value Collection 15326 Pvc Pipe Union 1/2 Inch Slip X Slip

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 15326 is a 1/2 inch Schedule-rated PVC pipe union designed for low-pressure plumbing, irrigation, and chemical-handling systems where a removable, leak-resistant joint is required. The union features a molded PVC body with an EPDM O-ring seat that compresses evenly at assembly to form a positive seal without thread sealant. Slip x Slip end connections accept standard 1/2 inch PVC pipe for solvent-cement installation. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and pool and spa service pros use this fitting wherever a system section needs to be broken apart for service or replacement without cutting pipe.

This union fits residential and light commercial applications including domestic cold-water distribution, pool and spa plumbing, irrigation mainlines, and chemical feed lines where PVC is an approved material. The EPDM O-ring is compatible with chlorinated water, many mild chemicals, and standard pool treatment compounds. Slip end connections are solvent-welded to Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC pipe stock of matching outside diameter.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch fitting size with Slip x Slip end connections for solvent-cement installation
• EPDM O-ring seat provides a positive, reusable seal at the union joint
• PVC body resists corrosion, scale, and many common chemicals
• Union design allows disassembly and reassembly without cutting pipe
• Compact form factor suits tight equipment bays and manifold installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using standard slip-end solvent-cement connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation and pool technicians following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before cutting into any existing system. Use a listed PVC primer and solvent cement rated for the pipe schedule and service conditions. Do not over-torque the union nut by hand; the EPDM O-ring requires only moderate hand tightening to seat properly, and wrench damage to the PVC nut threads will compromise the seal.
