Unions & Adaptors Table
| Type | Application |
|---|---|
| Threaded Union | Used for easy disconnection with threaded ends for pipe connections |
| Welded Union | Used for a permanent connection, welded to the pipes for strength |
| Flanged Union | Used for easy maintenance, with flanged ends for connection to flanged pipes |
| Compression Union | Used in systems where no welding or threading is required |
| Push-Fit Union | Used for quick and easy connections, typically in low-pressure systems |
| Threaded Adaptor | Used to connect pipes or fittings with different thread types |
| Flanged Adaptor | Used to connect pipes or fittings with flanged ends |
| Reducing Adaptor | Used to connect pipes of different sizes |
| Male to Female Adaptor | Used to connect male and female threaded components |
| Barbed Adaptor | Used for flexible hose connections, providing a secure fit |
