PVC Slip Union Sch80

PVC Slip Union SCH80 is a heavy-duty, high-pressure pipe fitting designed to connect two Schedule 80 PVC pipes using slip (socket) connections on both ends, while allowing easy disassembly and reassembly without cutting the pipe, making it ideal for irrigation systems, plumbing, water treatment, pools, and industrial piping applications; engineered with a true union design, it features a central threaded nut and an internal EPDM or Viton O-ring seal that creates a tight, leak-resistant connection, ensuring reliable performance even under demanding conditions .

Constructed from rigid Schedule 80 PVC, this union offers superior strength, thicker wall construction, and higher pressure resistance compared to SCH40, making it suitable for high-pressure systems (commonly up to 150–630 PSI depending on size and temperature) and environments exposed to chemicals, moisture, and corrosion, while remaining lightweight and easy to handle; the slip (socket) ends are installed using PVC primer and cement, forming a permanent bond on each side while maintaining a removable union joint in the center, allowing maintenance without disturbing the pipeline .

Designed for maximum convenience and system flexibility, PVC SCH80 slip unions are commonly used in locations where future maintenance, repairs, or equipment replacement is expected, such as near valves, pumps, filters, and manifolds, helping reduce downtime and labor costs, while their smooth internal bore minimizes friction loss and ensures efficient flow, making the PVC Slip Union SCH80 an essential component for achieving a durable, corrosion-resistant, and service-friendly piping system.
