System shutdowns lead to immediate turf stress, crop loss, and frustrated clients who expect rapid restoration of water service. With seasonal demand surging and supply chains often facing unpredictable back-orders, waiting until a leak occurs to source specialized Schedule 80 unions puts your project deadlines at risk. Professionals who stock these Lesso unions now ensure they can perform onsite repairs in minutes rather than hours, maintaining a reputation for reliability when it matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lesso Schedule 80 Union provides a significant technical advantage over standard Schedule 40 fittings by offering superior wall thickness and a high-pressure rating suitable for demanding commercial environments. The FIPT by FIPT (Female Iron Pipe Thread) configuration allows for easy integration with threaded valves, pumps, and backflow preventers without the mess or curing time of solvent welding. By choosing a heavy duty union with a built in O-ring seal, you reduce labor costs on future maintenance calls and provide your clients with a modular system that is easier to service. Being well stocked with these components gives your company a competitive edge in bidding on high pressure municipal and industrial irrigation contracts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh Grade Schedule 80 PVC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFIPT x FIPT (Female NPT Threads)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeal Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReplaceable Elastomeric O-Ring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 235 PSI at 73 Degrees F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eASTM D1784 and NSF\/ANSI 14\/61\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\/Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Gray\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Models \u0026amp; Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lesso Schedule 80 Union series is available in a full range of sizes from 1\/2 inch through 4 inch diameters to accommodate everything from small residential manifolds to large scale commercial pump stations.

Use a high quality PTFE thread sealant tape or non hardening pipe dope on the FIPT connections to ensure a watertight seal. Tighten the union nut by hand until snug; then use a strap wrench or pipe wrench to turn the nut an additional one quarter to one half turn. Do not over tighten as this can compress the O-ring excessively or crack the PVC housing. Always follow local plumbing codes regarding the use of unions in pressurized main lines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lesso","offers":[{"title":"1\/2\"","offer_id":52023037591841,"sku":"898-005","price":7.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\/4\"","offer_id":52023037624609,"sku":"898-007","price":10.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\"","offer_id":52023037657377,"sku":"898-010","price":14.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1-1\/4\"","offer_id":52023037690145,"sku":"898-012","price":27.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1-1\/2\"","offer_id":52023037722913,"sku":"898-015","price":33.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/8458\/3969\/files\/Sch80_UNION_W_O-RING_SEAL_FIPT_x_FIPT__1.png?v=1763586877","url":"https:\/\/asiwsupply.com\/products\/sch80-union-w-o-ring-seal-fipt-x-fipt","provider":"ASIW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
