1/2 union fitting with flat EPDM gasket sold in pairs

The 1/2 Union Fitting with Flat EPDM Gasket (Reference: 1472) is the ideal solution for all your plumbing connections requiring perfect sealing. Designed by Multitanks with recognised technical expertise, this brass union fitting offers exceptional robustness and unrivalled reliability. Sold in pairs, it meets the needs of both professionals and demanding home users.

Applications and benefits for your installations

This union fitting finds its place in a wide range of general plumbing applications. Ideal for cold and hot water pipe connections, it also excels in heating circuits, sanitary installations and industrial networks. Its union design allows easy disassembly without damaging connected elements, thus facilitating maintenance and interventions.

The integrated flat EPDM gasket guarantees perfect sealing even under pressure, eliminating the risk of costly leaks. This feature makes it a preferred choice for critical installations where reliability is paramount. Professionals particularly appreciate its ease of installation, which considerably reduces intervention times.

Technical construction and premium materials

Manufactured from forged and machined brass using the most advanced techniques, this union fitting combines lightness with exceptional robustness. The forging process gives the brass an optimised crystalline structure that perfectly resists corrosion and mechanical stress. Precision machining ensures dimensions that perfectly conform to standards, guaranteeing a play-free assembly.

The connection complies with the gas standard ''G'' ISO 228-1 (BSPP), an internationally recognised standard for its reliability and compatibility. This standardisation ensures total interchangeability with all fitting elements on the market. The flat EPDM gasket, a high-performance elastomer material, retains its sealing properties over a wide temperature range and resists common chemical agents.

Professional installation and implementation

Installation of this union fitting is carried out with standard plumbing tools. Begin by checking the cleanliness of the contact surfaces and the condition of the flat EPDM gasket. Manually screw both parts of the fitting onto the elements to be connected, then tighten moderately with a wrench to avoid crushing the gasket.

To optimise service life, respect the recommended tightening torque and avoid excessive mechanical stress. Maintenance is limited to periodic visual inspections and replacement of the EPDM gasket during frequent disassemblies. The union design greatly facilitates maintenance operations without requiring complete disassembly of adjacent pipework.
