Value Collection 497-020 Pvc Pipe Union 2 Inch Sch 40 Slip

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 497-020 is a 2-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe union designed for low-pressure fluid systems in residential and commercial plumbing, irrigation, and pool or spa piping. The union features slip end connections and an EPDM o-ring seat that forms a leak-resistant seal when the union nut is tightened. PVC construction resists corrosion and is compatible with a wide range of water-based and mildly chemical-bearing fluids. This type of fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and experienced pipe mechanics who need a removable, serviceable connection point in a rigid PVC line.

This union is suited for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems where a disconnect point is needed for future equipment service or replacement. Common applications include pool pump suction and discharge lines, irrigation mainlines, water treatment plumbing, and general cold-water supply runs. The slip end connections are solvent-cement joined on both sides, and the threaded union nut draws the two halves together against the EPDM o-ring to maintain a positive seal without additional sealant tape or compound on the mating face.

Key Features

• 2-inch fitting size suits standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe systems
• EPDM o-ring seat provides a compression seal at the union joint
• Slip end connections on both halves accept solvent-cement bonding
• PVC material resists corrosion from water and mild chemical exposure
• Schedule 40 rated construction meets common pressure and temperature ratings for cold-water PVC systems
• Union design allows the line to be broken and reassembled without cutting pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch Schedule 40 PVC slip-end piping systems in plumbing, irrigation, and pool or spa applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipe mechanic. Shut off system flow and relieve line pressure completely before disassembling or installing the union. Both slip ends require a proper PVC primer and solvent cement application per ASTM D2564 and local plumbing code requirements such as the IPC. Allow full cure time before pressurizing the system; do not force or over-torque the union nut, as PVC threads can crack under excessive hand loading.
