Put one on each side of a pump, filter or heater and the unit lifts off the pad without a saw, which turns a seal change or an off season pull into a short job instead of a replumb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelf aligning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReal pipe runs are rarely perfectly square. The self aligning design pulls the two halves into line as the nut is tightened, so the union still seats and seals when the approach is slightly off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstalling it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth sockets are slip, so they solvent weld onto 2-1\/2 in PVC. Tighten the union nut by hand only. The seal is made by the o-ring, and a wrench on the nut is the fastest way to crack it or distort the seat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634880032980,"sku":"WWP-56-4504","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_746eec55-99d1-406d-ab1b-dbb4f4304a81.jpg?v=1788837978","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/union-2-1-2-slip","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
