Avonplast UPVC 3/4″ UNION

The Avonplast UPVC 3/4″ Union is a type of fitting used in UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) piping systems. Here’s an overview of its features and applications:

1. Material: The Union is made of UPVC, which is a rigid and durable type of plastic known for its corrosion resistance, chemical inertness, and longevity. UPVC is commonly used in piping systems for conveying water, chemicals, and other fluids.
2. Size: The Union has a nominal size of 3/4″, which refers to the diameter of the pipe it is designed to connect. This size designation ensures compatibility with pipes of the same nominal size.
3. Design: The Union consists of two parts – a female threaded socket on each end and a central section with a threaded nut. The central section features a seal or gasket that creates a watertight connection when the nut is tightened. This design allows for easy disassembly and reassembly of the piping system without cutting or altering the pipes.
4. Threaded Connections: The female threaded sockets allow the Union to be connected to male threaded pipes or fittings. The threaded nut in the central section can be tightened or loosened using a wrench to secure or release the connection.
5. Versatility: Unions are essential components in piping systems and are used to provide a means of disconnection for maintenance or repair purposes. They allow sections of piping to be easily disconnected and reconnected without disrupting the entire system.
6. Pressure Rating: The Union is designed to withstand standard operating pressures commonly encountered in plumbing and industrial applications. It is essential to adhere to recommended pressure ratings and installation guidelines to ensure optimal performance and safety.
7. Corrosion Resistance: UPVC material provides excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and UV radiation, making the Union suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including potable water systems, chemical processing, and irrigation.
8. Easy Installation: The Union can be easily installed by screwing it onto male threaded pipes or fittings. The threaded nut in the central section allows for quick assembly and disassembly without the need for special tools.

In summary, the Avonplast UPVC 3/4″ Union offers a reliable and versatile solution for connecting and disconnecting pipes in UPVC piping systems. Its durable construction, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation make it suitable for various plumbing, industrial, and agricultural applications.
