It is the fitting that lets a heater be taken out of the plumbing by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the union earns its place\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatch the ends before you order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634992984276,"sku":"WWP-851-6339","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/417-5060-2-heater-union-x-2-spg-tailpiece.jpg?v=1788839316","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/2-heater-union-x-2-spg-tailpiece","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
