Description
316 Stainless Steel 150# Threaded Union - SP114
Charman 316 Stainless Steel SP114 Threaded Unions provide a serviceable connection between compatible threaded piping components while allowing the joint to be separated without rotating the adjoining pipe. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, these unions are available in nominal sizes from 1/8" through 3" for plumbing, industrial, process, maintenance, and general piping applications.
The SP114 Union uses a multi-piece threaded design that allows the connection to be assembled or disconnected at the union body. This makes it useful near valves, pumps, equipment, and piping sections that may require future maintenance, replacement, or removal.

What Is an SP114 Threaded Union?
A 316 stainless steel SP114 threaded union is a multi-piece fitting designed to connect two compatible threaded piping components while allowing the connection to be separated when service or removal is required.
Unlike a standard coupling, which typically requires piping movement or rotation during disassembly, a union can be separated at the union connection point. This makes it especially useful near equipment and components that may require future maintenance.
