The fitting transitions between a 3\/4-inch connection and a 1\/2-inch connection and is available in FNPT, MNPT, and sweat end configurations. Dielectric unions are a code-required component in many jurisdictions wherever copper and steel pipe meet, such as at water heater connections. The fitting measures 2.75 inches in height and 1.75 inches in width and length, and weighs 0.4 pounds. It is installed by licensed plumbers and qualified pipefitters in both residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dielectric union is suited for potable water supply lines, water heater inlet and outlet connections, and other plumbing assemblies where copper pipe meets steel or galvanized pipe. The 3\/4-inch sweat end accommodates standard copper tubing, while the threaded ends accept standard NPT fittings. The compact package size makes it practical for single-point repairs or new installations. It ships as a single-unit package, making it easy to stock individually for service calls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDielectric union design isolates dissimilar metals to prevent galvanic corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch FNPT, 3\/4-inch MNPT, and 3\/4-inch sweat end configurations included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTransitions between 3\/4-inch and 1\/2-inch pipe sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact dimensions: 2.75 inches tall, 1.75 inches wide and long\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.4 pounds for easy single-handed installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-unit packaging suitable for service and repair work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation dielectric union for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where copper and ferrous pipe materials meet at threaded or sweat connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on NPT threads and proper flux and solder technique on sweat connections. Do not over-tighten threaded ends, as this can crack the dielectric sleeve and defeat the corrosion-isolation function of the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnion Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dielectric Union\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size (Inlet)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size (Outlet)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweat Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.750 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Configurations\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT, MNPT, Sweat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40173300\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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 168-094NL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722886971698,"sku":"168-094NL","price":17.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2594ca92545ff54e84f0c58f67aa58f3.jpg?v=1788597403","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-168-094nl-dielectric-union-3-4-x-1-2","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
