Value Collection 16861 Cpvc Pipe Union 1/2 Inch Slip X Slip

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 16861 is a 1/2 inch CPVC pipe union designed for use in plastic piping systems requiring a removable, leak-resistant connection. The union features an EPDM O-ring seal that provides a reliable, pressure-rated joint between two slip-connect pipe ends. CPVC construction offers broad chemical resistance and suitability for both hot and cold water service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where system sections need to be disconnected for maintenance or replacement without cutting pipe. The slip x slip end connections accept standard 1/2 inch CPVC pipe with solvent cement.

This union is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems using 1/2 inch CPVC piping. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water distribution lines, chemical handling systems where CPVC is specified, and any installation where a union joint is required for serviceability. The EPDM O-ring is compatible with chlorinated water systems and a range of common plumbing fluids. Installation is straightforward in new construction or retrofit piping runs where solvent-weld CPVC is the specified pipe material.
