Unions

Unions are essential pipe fittings used in plumbing and piping systems to join two pipes or sections of pipe together in a detachable manner. They typically consist of three main components: a male end, a female end, and a nut or collar that screws onto the male end to secure the connection. Unions are available in various materials, including brass, stainless steel, and PVC, to suit different application requirements and environmental conditions. Their design allows for easy assembly and disassembly without the need for cutting or welding pipes, making them ideal for installations that may require periodic maintenance or adjustments. Unions are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems, as well as in fluid handling applications such as chemical processing and oil and gas production.
