Description
Schedule 80 CPVC Union 2000 (SOC x MPT) FKM
Schedule 80 CPVC Union 2000 (SOC x MPT) FKM provides a serviceable transition between a solvent-cement socket connection and a male-threaded connection. The union configuration incorporates an FKM sealing element and allows the piping connection to be separated for service without cutting the adjoining pipe.
The Schedule 80 CPVC Union 2000 combines a CPVC socket interface with a Male Pipe Thread connection in one removable union assembly. Selection should account for nominal size, socket compatibility, female-thread compatibility, FKM seal compatibility, system conditions, and proper CPVC installation procedures.

Union 2000 Design
The Union 2000 design provides a removable center connection between the socket and male-threaded ends. This allows adjoining piping or equipment to be separated without cutting the CPVC pipe.
The union should be installed where adequate access is available for future maintenance. Proper alignment should be maintained so the union joint can be assembled without unnecessary mechanical stress.
SOC x MPT Connections
The SOC x MPT configuration combines a solvent-cement socket connection with a Male Pipe Thread connection. The socket accepts compatible CPVC pipe while the male-threaded end connects to an appropriately sized compatible female thread.
Both connection types should be properly prepared before assembly. Compatible CPVC joining materials and appropriate threaded plastic-piping procedures should be used for their respective connections.
FKM Seal
The FKM sealing element provides the seal at the serviceable union joint. The seal should be clean, properly positioned, and free from visible damage before the union is assembled.
FKM compatibility should be reviewed against the fluid and operating conditions of the intended system. The sealing element should also be inspected whenever the union is opened for service.
Serviceable CPVC Connection
A Schedule 80 CPVC Union 2000 SOC x MPT provides a convenient separation point between solvent-cement CPVC piping and compatible female-threaded equipment or piping components. The center union joint permits service while the end connections remain installed.
System temperature, pressure, fluid compatibility, joining requirements, and thread compatibility should be reviewed for the intended application. Proper piping support should be maintained around both sides of the union.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify SOC x MPT configuration.
- Confirm FKM seal compatibility.
- Check female-thread compatibility.
- Avoid excessive threaded tightening.
Our piping specialists can help review nominal size, socket compatibility, female-thread compatibility, FKM seal requirements, and installation considerations before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 CPVC Union 2000 SOC x MPT used for?
It provides a serviceable transition between compatible CPVC socket piping and a female-threaded component.
What does SOC x MPT mean?
SOC x MPT means the union has one socket connection and one Male Pipe Thread connection.
What type of seal does this union use?
This Union 2000 configuration uses an FKM sealing element at the serviceable union joint.
Can the union be disconnected after installation?
Yes. The center union joint is designed to be separated without cutting the adjoining CPVC piping.
How are the two end connections installed?
The socket side uses compatible CPVC solvent-cement joining while the MPT side uses appropriate threaded plastic-piping procedures.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm nominal size, SOC x MPT configuration, FKM compatibility, mating female thread, and requirements of the intended CPVC piping system.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify SOC x MPT configuration.
- Confirm FKM compatibility.
- Inspect the seal before assembly.
- Use compatible CPVC joining procedures.
