Value Collection 497-012 Pvc Pipe Union 1-1/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 497-012 is a 1-1/4 inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe union designed for use in low-pressure water and fluid piping systems. It features slip end connections on both sides and an EPDM O-ring seal that provides a leak-resistant joint without the need for solvent cement at the union interface. The union design allows the line to be disconnected and reconnected without cutting pipe, making it a practical choice for equipment isolation, pump connections, and serviceable piping runs. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting in residential and light commercial applications.

This union is suited for cold and warm water supply lines, irrigation systems, pool and spa plumbing, and chemical handling applications where PVC is an appropriate material choice. The EPDM O-ring is compatible with water, many mild chemicals, and common pool treatment solutions. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard residential and light commercial piping requirements. This fitting is sold individually and is intended for use wherever a serviceable union connection is needed in a 1-1/4 inch PVC slip-connect line.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before cutting into an existing system. Slip ends are solvent-cemented using PVC primer and cement per manufacturer and local plumbing code requirements — the union nut interface relies on the EPDM O-ring and does not require cement. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code guidelines for pressure ratings and permitted fluid types.
