Description
Westlake Pipe & Fittings 897030 3″ Slip x Slip Union, Schedule 80, O-Ring Type, Gray
The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 897030 3″ Slip x Slip Union is a professional-grade Schedule 80 PVC fitting designed to provide a secure, leak-resistant connection in plumbing, chemical processing, pool and spa systems, irrigation networks, and industrial piping applications. Its O-ring design allows for easy assembly and disassembly while maintaining a dependable seal, making it ideal for systems requiring regular maintenance, inspection, or component replacement.
Constructed from durable Schedule 80 PVC, the 897030 union withstands higher pressures than Schedule 40, offering excellent resistance to corrosion, chemical exposure, and UV degradation. The gray material enhances visual identification and ensures long-term performance in both indoor and outdoor installations. The slip x slip configuration allows solvent-weld installation onto standard 3-inch PVC pipe, while the O-ring provides an additional leak-proof barrier. This combination ensures smooth flow, minimizes turbulence, and maintains system efficiency.
Designed for ease of use, the union can be disconnected and reconnected repeatedly without compromising sealing integrity. Its precise tolerances simplify installation, maintain proper alignment, and reduce labor time. Ideal for systems where pipe sections may need to be removed or replaced, the 897030 union provides a reliable, high-pressure solution for water supply, chemical lines, pool filtration, irrigation, and industrial piping networks. Its robust Schedule 80 construction, versatile design, and O-ring sealing make it a durable, professional-grade component for demanding applications.
