(Part Number: BTU-1500-E) – PVC True Union Ball Valve – 1-1/2 in. IPS Slip & Threaded X Slip & Threaded – Compression Fittings and Unions – Flowerpot Irrigation Unions & Compression Fittings – Easy Assembly Parts – Made in America – NDS

Key Features

• Compression fittings and unions provide a leak-resistant connection between two pipes
• NDS offers a wide range of sizes in compression couplings, adapters, tees, unions, and union adapters
• Compression fittings have an adjustable nut on each end to tighten and secure it in place
• Unions are used to connect pipes and provide a quick way to separate pipes when needed; no glue required
• Product is NSF/ANSI 61 + 372 listed

Applications

• Compression couplings connect two sections of pipe together to direct flow one-way through system
• Compression tees adds a “T” intersection from one pipeline splitting off into two different directions to create a lateral branch in system
• Compression adapters transition from unthreaded to threaded pipe to direct flow one-way through system
• Unions connect pipe without the need for traditional glued sealant; center of union can be pulled apart to quickly disconnect pipes
• Use for pool and spa, irrigation, and plumbing applications; works with most plastic pipe to transport water and provide a leak-resistant connection

Materials & Sustainability

• Compression fittings and unions are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• Union has an EPDM O-ring in center to create leak-resistant seal
• Onsite flow management helps provide a leak-resistant and corrosion-free system

Installation & Maintenance

• Compression fittings have slip or threaded ends that connect to pipe ends; use solvent to secure slip end
• Unions have two slip or threaded ends that connect to pipe ends; no glued sealant necessary
• Compression fitting performance issues can indicate damage; replace as needed
