Title: Combination union and female pipe coupler.
Post by: mlappin on August 07, 2017, 09:36:14 AM
I’m having a complete brain fart here, but I know I’ve seen like a half union before thats like a combo union and female pipe coupler in one. Looking to use em on flat plates so to have only one fitting instead of a female pipe coupler to copper then a union. What I’m thinking of has a flat face with a flat washer like most di electric units use then the outer sleeve would screw onto the ports of the flat plate. Use em all the time on the spray equipment but they are all plastic.

How about a picture, I'm having a hard time seeing it in my mind.

Ran into a plumber/pipe fitter friend, he said he’s never seen anything like that and might have been manufacturer specific for the brand of ag pumps we use. And like I said, these were always plastic. Just like half of a union, except the couple part that would normally fit over the other half of the union goes over a 2” NPT instead, then you have a flat rubber gasket then the other end of this union reduces down to 1 1/2” pipe.

Ok, I think I'm picturing it in my little mind, doesn't sound to difficult a concept to produce, do you have any good production shops in your area?

The only thing I have used has been a Nibco 733-3 CxF  union.  I believe that is what you are looking for.
