1/2" PVC Union Socket

The PVC Union Socket is available in sizes from ¼ inch up to 6 inches. It’s compatible with standard PVC and ABS pipes and uses a solvent-w Weld connection to create a tight seal.

You prepare the pipe ends, apply PVC primer, then apply PVC cement to both the pipe and the socket, insert fully, and hold until set. The solvent-weld process fuses the materials for a leak-free joint.

Yes. The PVC Union Socket is designed to be compatible with both PVC and ABS piping, as long as the nominal sizes match and the installation is done with the proper solvent cement and technique.

It's suitable for residential and commercial plumbing, including indoor and outdoor installations, irrigation lines, drainage runs, and any two-pipe connection that requires a secure, leak-free joint.

Step-by-step: 1) Cut and clean the pipe ends; 2) Deburr and wipe dry; 3) Apply primer to the pipe and socket; 4) Apply solvent cement to both surfaces; 5) Insert the pipe into the socket fully and twist slightly; 6) Hold until the cement begins to set and avoid movement during cure.

You’ll need a PVC pipe cutter or saw, a deburring tool, PVC primer, PVC cement, clean rags, and safety gear (gloves and eye protection). Ensure you work in a well-ventilated area when using solvent cement.

Key specs include: available in sizes ¼"–6"; material: durable PVC with chemical resistance; temperature rating up to about 140°F; solvent-weld design for a tight, leak-resistant seal; suitable for PVC and ABS piping.

Measure the outside diameter of the pipe to determine the correct nominal size. Choose a Union Socket that matches the pipe diameter and ensure both pipes are compatible (PVC or ABS). For long runs or high-stress areas, consider additional supports or alternative fittings as needed.
