Description
Schedule 80 CPVC Union 2000 (SOC x SPG) EPDM
Schedule 80 CPVC Union 2000 (SOC x SPG) EPDM provides a serviceable transition between a socket connection and a spigot connection in compatible CPVC piping. The union configuration incorporates an EPDM sealing element and allows the connection to be separated without cutting the adjoining piping.
The Schedule 80 CPVC Union 2000 combines socket and spigot interfaces with a removable center union joint for convenient system access. Selection should account for nominal size, socket and spigot compatibility, EPDM seal compatibility, system conditions, and proper CPVC solvent-cement procedures.

Union 2000 Design
The Union 2000 design provides a removable center connection between the socket and spigot ends. This creates an accessible service point within compatible Schedule 80 CPVC piping.
The fitting should be positioned where the union joint remains accessible after installation. Proper alignment should be maintained so the joint can be assembled without unnecessary mechanical stress.
SOC x SPG Connections
The SOC x SPG configuration combines one socket interface with one spigot interface. The socket accepts compatible CPVC pipe while the spigot end fits into an appropriately sized compatible socket connection.
Both solvent-cement interfaces should be clean and properly prepared before joining. Compatible CPVC primer, solvent cement, insertion procedures, and required cure times should be followed.
EPDM Seal
The EPDM sealing element seals the removable center union joint while allowing the fitting to be separated for maintenance. The seal should be properly positioned and inspected before assembly.
EPDM compatibility should be reviewed for the fluid and operating conditions of the intended system. Inspect the sealing element whenever the union is opened for service.
Serviceable CPVC Connection
A Schedule 80 CPVC Union 2000 SOC x SPG provides a convenient separation point within compatible solvent-cement CPVC piping. The socket and spigot configuration can simplify transitions between pipe and fitting socket interfaces.
System temperature, pressure, fluid compatibility, joining requirements, and applicable installation procedures should be reviewed before use. Proper piping support should be maintained on both sides of the union.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify SOC x SPG configuration.
- Confirm EPDM seal compatibility.
- Check socket and spigot sizing.
- Maintain proper piping alignment.
Our piping specialists can help review nominal size, socket and spigot compatibility, EPDM seal requirements, adjoining CPVC connections, and installation considerations before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 CPVC Union 2000 SOC x SPG used for?
It provides a serviceable transition between compatible CPVC socket and spigot connections.
What does SOC x SPG mean?
SOC x SPG means the union has one socket connection and one spigot connection.
What type of seal does this union use?
This Union 2000 configuration uses an EPDM sealing element at the serviceable center joint.
Can this union be disconnected after installation?
Yes. The center union joint can be separated while the solvent-cement end connections remain installed.
How are the socket and spigot ends joined?
Both interfaces are designed for compatible CPVC solvent-cement joining using appropriate preparation and installation procedures.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm nominal size, SOC x SPG configuration, EPDM compatibility, adjoining socket sizes, and requirements of the intended CPVC system.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify SOC x SPG configuration.
- Confirm EPDM compatibility.
- Inspect the seal before assembly.
- Use compatible CPVC joining procedures.
