Selecting the Correct Sliding Union
Select the PPS1 UNS female sliding union according to the outside diameter of the PPS pipe being connected. The fitting size must correspond to the pipe OD used in the piping network.
Available sizes range from 1" through 4". Review dimensions A and B when working in areas with limited installation clearance, particularly when selecting the larger fitting sizes.
Installation Considerations
- Confirm the outside diameter of the PPS pipe before ordering.
- Select the sliding union that corresponds to the pipe OD.
- Review fitting dimensions to confirm available installation clearance.
- Cut pipe square and prepare pipe ends according to PPS installation requirements.
- Keep pipe ends and fitting interiors clean before assembly.
- Use only compatible PPS pipe and system components.
- Support the piping network appropriately around the connection.
- Do not exceed the published maximum operating pressure of 232 PSI.
- Maintain the system within the published -4°F to 176°F operating temperature range.
- Test the completed piping network before normal operation.
- Installation should be completed by personnel familiar with the piping system and its intended service.
