The fitting connects female NPT iron pipe to copper solder-joint (sweat) piping via a cast iron flange tailpiece and an EPDM gasket with standard hardware. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 50 psi and a maximum temperature of 300 degrees F. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting on commercial and residential jobs where code or engineering specs require a dielectric break between ferrous and copper piping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis union is suited for hot water storage tanks, water heaters, water and air conditioning equipment, processing tanks, and steam, gas, and water distribution piping. It is compatible with water, air, oil, natural gas, propane, gasoline, kerosene, mineral oil, vegetable oil, and alkaline media. The lead-free construction satisfies potable-water compliance requirements in jurisdictions that enforce low-lead plumbing standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDielectric isolation breaks galvanic and stray-current paths between dissimilar metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free cast iron body meets low-lead compliance requirements for potable water systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFNPT x copper sweat (C) connection — iron pipe thread on one side, solder joint on the other\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEPDM gasket included with hardware for a complete, field-ready assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 300 degrees F and 50 psi for broad residential and light commercial coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with a wide range of media including gas, oil, and water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style dielectric isolation fitting for 2.5-inch FNPT-to-copper sweat connections in residential and commercial hot water storage, HVAC, and process piping systems where dissimilar-metal joints require galvanic protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and all applicable local codes. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing any existing fitting or joining the new union. The FNPT end requires thread sealant or PTFE tape; the copper sweat end requires proper flux and solder technique — do not apply torch heat to the assembled union body. Verify that the EPDM gasket is seated evenly before tightening flange hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT x Copper Sweat (C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flanged Dielectric Union\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 300 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGasket Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: EPDM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: WATTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 821747\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WATTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51669030437170,"sku":"0821747","price":604.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/781732e7526527a3c68c414c02b55507.jpg?v=1787955710","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/watts-821747-flanged-dielectric-union-2-5-in-fnpt-x-copper","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
