This 1/4 in. Union is made from Carbon Steel, Forged with a Threaded connection. 3000 lb pressure rating.

A union is a specialized pipe fitting used to join two pipes that can be disconnected whenever necessary. Union Fitting connections consist of three primary interlocking pieces: a threaded male end, a threaded female end, and a central nut or ring that draws the two ends together. The male and female ends are sealed by compression against a metal seat or gasket. Union fittings create secure and leak-proof connections that can be easily disconnected.

Threaded connections in plumbing use male and female threads to securely join pipes and fittings, creating a tight mechanical seal. They are commonly used for metal piping systems and can be sealed with tape or compound to prevent leaks.

Forged Carbon Steel Components are manufactured via a process known as forging. Carbon Steel is the most common and widely used form of steel worldwide due to its strength, workability, and cost. Carbon Steel is an alloy of Iron that uses carbon as the primary alloying element.Unlike cast steel, forged steel components are created by direct manipulation of the metal by compressive tools like a hammer or a press. Forged Steel is generally stronger than cast steel and has a lower rate of defects.
