Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Union

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Union provides a unique combination of permanent pipe connections with the ability to disconnect when needed. This three-piece fitting consists of two socket ends that are solvent-welded to pipes, plus a threaded collar nut that joins them together. The union allows for easy disassembly without cutting pipes, making it essential for equipment that requires periodic maintenance or replacement.
The precision-machined sealing surfaces ensure leak-free operation under full system pressure, while the robust threaded nut provides secure connection strength. Ideal for installations before water heaters, pumps, filters, and other equipment requiring future access. The CPVC construction maintains compatibility with the complete Flowguard Plus system while offering the serviceability of a threaded connection.
