Female Union Elbow Construction
A female union elbow combines the directional function of an elbow with the serviceability of a union. It provides a threaded connection while incorporating a separable union joint for easier piping assembly and disassembly.
The union connection can be separated without requiring the adjoining piping to be rotated, making this fitting useful near fixtures, valves, equipment, and other components that may require future service.
The chrome-plated exterior provides a finished appearance for compatible installations where the fitting remains visible.
