Value Collection 497-010 Pvc Pipe Union 1 in Slip Schedule 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 497-010 is a 1-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe union with an EPDM O-ring seal, designed for use in pressurized water and fluid piping systems. The union allows technicians to disconnect and reconnect pipe runs without cutting, making it a standard fitting for service points in plumbing, pool, irrigation, and light industrial applications. The EPDM O-ring provides a positive, leak-resistant seal at the union joint. Slip end connections accept standard 1-inch pipe for solvent-weld installation. This fitting is suited for plumbers, pool service technicians, and irrigation installers working with Schedule 40 PVC systems.

This union is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where future serviceability is required. Typical applications include pool and spa equipment connections, water treatment plumbing, chemical feed lines, and irrigation manifolds. The slip end configuration is bonded using standard PVC solvent cement. Schedule 40 wall thickness makes this fitting compatible with Schedule 40 pipe in 1-inch nominal diameter installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pool and irrigation technicians. Shut off flow and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Use appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement per manufacturer instructions and applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Do not overtighten the union nut, as PVC threads can crack under excess torque.
