304 & 316 Stainless Steel
304 Stainless Steel
304 stainless steel provides corrosion-resistant construction for a broad range of compatible industrial piping applications.
316 Stainless Steel
316 stainless steel provides enhanced corrosion resistance for compatible industrial and chemical applications where 316-grade material is required.
Threaded Union Design
The union configuration provides a removable connection between two sections of threaded piping. Unlike a standard coupling, the union can be separated without requiring the connected pipe sections to be rotated, making it useful where periodic disassembly, maintenance, or equipment replacement may be required.
Barstock Construction
These 1000# threaded unions are manufactured from stainless steel barstock and conform to ASTM/ASME A182/SA182 and ANSI B16.11. Refer to the dimensional document below for fitting dimensions by size.
Corrosion Resistance
Stainless steel provides corrosion-resistant performance for demanding piping environments. The material resists corrosive attack from hundreds of industrial and chemical solutions and mixtures, making these unions suitable for a broad range of compatible process applications.
Selection & Application Guidance
- Select the union to match the nominal size of the connecting NPT piping.
- Select 304 or 316 stainless steel based on application requirements.
- Verify material compatibility with the intended media and operating environment.
- Confirm pressure and temperature requirements for the piping system.
- Use an appropriate thread sealant compatible with the system media.
- Use unions where a removable threaded connection is beneficial for service or maintenance.
- Follow proper NPT engagement and tightening practices during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What stainless steel grades are available?
These 1000# barstock unions are available in 304 and 316 stainless steel.
What type of connection does the union have?
The union uses NPT threaded connections for installation in compatible threaded piping systems.
What is a threaded union used for?
A threaded union connects two sections of piping while providing a connection that can be separated for service, maintenance, or equipment replacement without rotating the adjoining pipe.
How is a union different from a coupling?
A coupling provides a threaded connection between two pipe sections, while a union is designed so the connection can be separated without rotating the adjoining piping.
What standards do these fittings meet?
The fittings conform to ASTM/ASME A182/SA182 and ANSI B16.11.
Are these fittings corrosion resistant?
Yes. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and resists corrosive attack from hundreds of industrial and chemical solutions and mixtures.
