If you are a DIYer and don't know about unions, it is so good to know. Thanks.

Great video on unions - relevent and straight to the point. Other videos I saw left out some basic information bringing about confusion.
Thanks to you, I successfully installed a stormwater pump which I can often remove for maintenance.

Thanks for the helpful explanation. Much easier to understand them now

My Union is leaking even though it is tight. Could it be the O Ring? It’s on a discharge line for a sump pump so not under any pressure.

Can I buy a cap to replace a Union after I’ve taken an outdoor filter off for the winter ? Great video & info 👍thx

Unions, especially PVC, are as rare as hen's teeth in my area and the price is crazy ($45 CDN for a 1.5" FPT union). Absolutely nuts and that's if you can actually get one.

Will these Unions work for High pressure water.. And for high air pressure such as septic air pump aerator pvc connections without leaking over time?

Thanks for this video. I am replacing valves in my sprinkler system but the installer didn't use unions when they made the system. The valves are threaded, so I can cut the pipe, and unscrew the valve. How much length will the 1.25" union require. The pipes have no play in them so I need to be accurate. I know I could possibly use a repair extension if I can't make the union work. Thanks

I was about a minute in before I realized he was talking just about pipes and not work unions 😂

The white one's you're using for the presentation are very similar if not the same that HomeDepot has. My question is, can I use these for my pool filter and pump? will they work fine under the pressure of pool pumps? Thx in advance!

Hi can you use a flexible pvc joiner instead of unions for swimming pools then.

I wish i had a reason to build plumbing so i could use unions. Lol

Is the washer replaceable in a Union unit?

[BenJohnsonDotNet]

Generally speaking, are unions allowed to be buried behind drywall?

[danielmogos]

would be useful to actually connect some pipes with the fittings 😅...just saying

Of course with inflation everything has gone off the charts.
