Avonplast UPVC 1″ UNION

The Avonplast UPVC 1″ Union is a vital component used in UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) piping systems. Here’s an overview of this product:

• Material: Constructed from UPVC, a rigid and durable type of plastic known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, chemical inertness, and longevity. UPVC is widely favored in piping systems for transporting water, chemicals, and other fluids.
• Design: The UPVC Union comprises three main parts: two female-threaded sockets and a central union nut with O-rings. This design allows for easy disassembly and reassembly of the piping system without the need for cutting or replacing pipes.
• Function: The primary role of the Union is to join two sections of UPVC pipe together in a leak-proof manner while still allowing for future disassembly if necessary. The union nut is tightened or loosened to connect or disconnect the pipes.
• Installation: The Union is installed by applying thread sealant or tape to the male threads of the pipes to ensure a tight seal. The pipes are then inserted into the female-threaded sockets of the Union, and the union nut is tightened to secure the connection.
• Applications: Unions are commonly used in various plumbing applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial settings. They are particularly useful in systems where periodic maintenance or alterations are required, as they facilitate easy access and disassembly.
• Size: The Avonplast UPVC 1″ Union is specifically designed to accommodate UPVC pipes with a nominal diameter of 1 inch.
• Corrosion Resistance: UPVC material offers excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and UV radiation, making it suitable for a wide range of environments and applications.

In summary, the Avonplast UPVC 1″ Union is a versatile and essential fitting used to create secure and leak-proof connections between UPVC pipes. Its user-friendly design and robust construction ensure reliable performance and easy maintenance in various plumbing systems.
