Value Collection 897-040C Cpvc Pipe Union 4 in Sch 80

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 897-040C is a 4-inch CPVC pipe union designed for Schedule 80 pressure piping systems. It features an EPDM O-ring seat that provides a reliable, leak-resistant seal at the union joint. The slip x slip end connections accept standard CPVC pipe for solvent-cemented assembly. This fitting is used in industrial, commercial, and residential piping systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this union to allow future disassembly of a piping run without cutting pipe.

This union is suited for applications involving corrosive fluids, hot and cold water distribution, and chemical process lines where CPVC material is specified. Schedule 80 wall thickness supports higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40, making it appropriate for demanding service conditions. The EPDM O-ring is compatible with a broad range of water treatment chemicals, making this fitting a common choice in pool and spa mechanical rooms, industrial plants, and commercial plumbing installations.

Key Features

• 4-inch fitting size for large-diameter CPVC Schedule 80 piping systems
• EPDM O-ring union joint provides a secure, pressure-rated seal
• Slip x slip end connections for solvent-cement installation
• CPVC construction offers corrosion and chemical resistance
• Schedule 80 wall thickness supports elevated pressure service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 4-inch Schedule 80 CPVC pressure piping systems with slip end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling or installing any union fitting. Use only CPVC-rated solvent cement and primer on slip connections, and allow full cure time before pressurizing. Do not overtighten the union nut, as CPVC fittings are subject to stress cracking under excessive mechanical load.
