This plain union fitting provides a secure connection between two equal sized ABS pipes while allowing the joint to be easily separated later, making it ideal for systems that require routine servicing or modular assembly. Each side of the union is solvent welded using ABS cleaner and cement to create strong permanent socket joints, while the central threaded nut enables the connection to be opened and reassembled without disturbing the rest of the pipeline. Constructed from high quality ABS, the fitting delivers excellent impact resistance, low moisture absorption and consistent performance across a broad temperature range. Its lightweight handling and precise moulding help ensure quick, reliable installation in a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications.

• Demountable design: Allows pipe sections to be disconnected without cutting into the system
• Secure solvent welded sockets: Provides strong permanent bonding at each end of the union
• Ideal for maintenance access: Perfect for filters, pumps, dosing lines and other service points
• Durable ABS construction: High impact strength and long term reliability in demanding environments
• Chemical resistance: Suitable for many diluted industrial chemicals and process fluids
• WRAS and Kitemark approved: Meets trusted UK standards for safety and performance
• Lightweight and easy to fit: Reduces installation time and simplifies alignment
