- 2 inch heater union Sized for 2 inch heater plumbing, the common size on residential equipment pads.
- 2 inch SPG tailpiece The tailpiece is a spigot, so it slips into a 2 inch socket fitting rather than over the pipe.
- Service without a saw A union at the heater is what turns a winter teardown into two hand tightened nuts.

Product details
This is the Waterway 417-5060, a 2 inch heater union with a 2 inch spigot tailpiece. It is the fitting that lets a heater be taken out of the plumbing by hand.
Why the union earns its place
A heater is the piece of equipment most likely to be pulled off a pad, whether that is for a repair, a swap, or to drain it down for winter. Hard piping one in makes every one of those jobs a cutting and gluing job. A union at each port turns it into loosening two nuts. When a union does eventually fail, usually a cracked nut or a sealing face that will not hold after years of heat cycling, replacing the assembly is the straightforward repair.
Match the ends before you order
The tailpiece here is SPG, meaning spigot. It slips inside a 2 inch socket fitting. A socket tailpiece works the other way round, taking the pipe inside itself, and the two cannot be swapped. Look at what is glued into your run before you buy.
