ABS Union
The ABS Union is a versatile pipe fitting designed to provide quick and secure disconnection or reconnection of pipelines without the need for cutting. Manufactured from strong and lightweight Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), it offers excellent impact resistance, durability, and long service life. With a smooth bore interior, it minimizes pressure loss and ensures efficient fluid flow. ABS unions are resistant to corrosion, scaling, and many non-aggressive chemicals, making them ideal for water supply, cooling systems, marine, aquaculture, and food & beverage applications. Available in solvent weld and threaded options, they deliver reliable, leak-free performance across a wide temperature range.
