Two pipe sections can be joined and separated without cutting, but the pipe connection at each end is made with PVC solvent cement rather than threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe socket ends glue onto the pipe permanently. The joint in the middle, sealed by an EPDM O-ring and held by a threaded collar, is where the union opens and closes. This gives you a permanent pipe connection that can still be undone at a specific point when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eWhere Farmers Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis type of union is well suited to all-PVC systems where the mainline is plain PVC pipe without threads. By gluing the union directly onto the pipe, you get the full strength of a solvent-welded joint at each end, plus the ability to separate the line at that point for pump removal, filter servicing, or seasonal dismantling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCommon locations include either side of a pump, before and after a filter housing, and at the inlet or outlet of a water storage tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eAvailable Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e32mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e40mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e50mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e63mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e75mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e90mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e110mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eApply PVC solvent cement to both the pipe end and the inside of the union socket, push together with a slight turn, and hold for a few seconds. Allow the joint to cure before bringing the two halves of the union together and tightening the threaded collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe EPDM O-ring provides the watertight seal at the collar; no tape or cement is needed there.
