This versatile union component is standard hardware across various Pentair filtration networks, including the Sand Dollar sand filter series and Clean \u0026amp; Clear cartridge filter plumbing kits, where it bridges the gap between the filter's multiport backwash valve or tank bulkhead ports and the equipment pad's rigid PVC piping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eInjection-molded from thick-walled, high-impact, and chemically inert black ABS thermoplastic polymer, this component features a dual-size connection geometry. It is engineered with a 1.5-inch male pipe thread (MPT) on one end to thread securely into the filter port, while the opposite side transitions into a 2-inch slip socket designed to receive standard 2-inch pool plumbing lines via solvent welding. Its primary operational role is to establish an absolute watertight and airtight compression boundary that simplifies system installation and equipment tear-downs. By utilizing a quick-disconnect union nut mechanism over its sealing ring, pool technicians can easily uncouple and isolate the plumbing infrastructure during pump or filter replacements without having to saw through existing PVC lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThis robust framework allows the connection to safely handle high fluid distribution velocities and sustain continuous internal system operating pressures up to 50 PSI without weeping, experiencing localized thread stress, or shifting out of alignment under heavy pump vibration surges. Engineered to endure a lifetime of demanding outdoor equipment pad weathering, shifting thermal stress, and direct UV exposure, its resilient ABS construction completely resists degradation from concentrated pool sanitizers like chlorine, bromine, and winterizing chemical flushes. Due to its rigid, thick-walled plastic structural profile and dual-diameter geometry, this individual male body union carries a net product and shipping weight of approximately \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"746\"\u003e0.25 to 0.40 pounds\u003c\/b\u003e (about 4.0 to 6.4 ounces).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Commercial Pool and Spa Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53416207581295,"sku":"87202211Z","price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/3785\/3807\/files\/81mDpBXGvjL._SL1500_6c07ed77-512e-47ea-a9f2-9a703e44965e.jpg?v=1782745139","url":"https:\/\/commercialpoolandspasupplies.com\/products\/pentair-1-5-x-2-male-black-abs-body-union-for-filter-base-plumbing-kits","provider":"Commercial Pool and Spa Supplies ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
