Value Collection 16862 Cpvc Pipe Union 3/4 Inch Slip X Slip

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 16862 is a 3/4-inch CPVC plastic pipe union fitted with an EPDM O-ring for a reliable, leak-resistant seal. Designed for joining and disconnecting sections of CPVC pipe without cutting, this union uses slip x slip end connections on both sides. The CPVC construction offers strong resistance to heat, corrosion, and many chemicals found in plumbing and HVAC hydronic systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where periodic disassembly or equipment isolation is required in smaller-diameter piping runs.

This union is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications involving hot and cold water distribution, as well as chlorinated water systems where CPVC is the specified pipe material. The slip x slip configuration bonds directly to standard CPVC pipe using solvent cement, making it a straightforward fit for new installations and repair work alike. The EPDM O-ring provides the secondary seal at the union joint, maintaining integrity under the temperature and pressure conditions typical of domestic water service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and fully depressurize and drain the line before cutting in or replacing this union. Solvent-cement both slip ends to the mating CPVC pipe per the cement manufacturer's cure time requirements before restoring flow. Do not use this fitting on pipe materials or in service conditions outside the rated limits of CPVC.
