Working with PVC pipes means you need connections you can truly count on. That's where this high-quality slip union from King Brothers Inc. comes in, offering the perfect balance of durability and ease of use for your plumbing or irrigation projects.
This union is constructed from Schedule 40 PVC, which means it's built to handle the pressures and conditions of both indoor plumbing and outdoor irrigation systems. The white color not only looks clean but also resists UV degradation, making it perfect for above-ground applications. What really sets this fitting apart is the EPDM O-ring that creates a tight, watertight seal without the need for messy pipe cement or complicated threading.
The slip design is what makes this union so practical. Instead of requiring solvent welding or threading, you can simply slide the fitting into place and secure it. This means no waiting for cement to cure, no special tools needed, and the ability to disassemble the connection later if needed. The 1-1/4 inch size is perfect for medium-duty applications, offering enough flow capacity while remaining manageable to work with.
Whether you're repairing a damaged section of irrigation line, setting up a new sprinkler system, or working on residential plumbing repairs, this slip union handles the job with ease. It's particularly useful for connecting pipes in areas where future access might be needed, such as near valves or pumps. The EPDM O-ring provides excellent chemical resistance, so it works well with both water and many common irrigation solutions.
Installation is straightforward - just cut your PVC pipe to length, slide the union onto one end, connect the pipes, and tighten the fitting. The result is a secure connection that won't leak and will stand up to years of use. It's the kind of reliable fitting that becomes a go-to in your toolkit once you experience how well it performs.
