1/2 in. Schedule 40 PVC Pipe Union Fitting Slip x Slip (100-Pack)
Slip unions are used when you have a need to take the pipes apart again
Unions have some special properties that allow them to be taken apart for repairs or for mobility
Once the pipes are connected to the 2 halves of the union, they screw together (without the need for the pipes to turn) and include a washer to provide a water-tight seal
Slip unions are used when joining to 2 smooth pipe ends together, the male and female union sections cement or glue onto the smooth pipe ends and then the union is screwed together to form the joint
