Black Cast Iron Male/female Union plumbing fitting
This Union fitting is ideal for creating complex closed structures (squares, rectangles) in cast iron and steel plumbing fittings. It is compatible with all black or galvanised cast iron fittings and black or galvanised steel threaded pipes of the same size sold in our online shop. The parts simply screw together, without welding, to make strong assemblies easily.
Description of the Union fitting:
The Union makes it easy to connect structural parts together that would otherwise be impossible to tighten properly due to the right-hand threads on all the parts.
The Union plumbing fitting is made up of 3 parts: 2 pieces to be screwed on each side of the fittings to be connected and a nut that joins the 2 parts.

Union characteristics and uses:
The Male/female union is used to connect a female fitting and pipe or a male fitting (threaded). It is ideal for large structures that you can break down into smaller elements in this way to connect them easily at the end of assembly. It also allows you to create closed structures, i.e. squares or rectangles.
Although we use our fittings for decoration, they are a genuine piece of plumbing made from white-core malleable cast iron that complies with EN 10242 and ISO49 standards. Superior quality and a guarantee of foolproof sturdiness!
The Threads on this part are BSPT (ISO 7-1 standard) with cylindrical female (tapped) ends.
