The UNION 1” GI is a precision-engineered plumbing fitting designed to join two sections of galvanized iron pipes in a way that allows the pipeline to be easily dismantled without cutting.
Unlike permanent threaded joints, a union provides a serviceable connection point, making it highly useful in systems that require periodic maintenance, inspection, or replacement of pipe sections.
This fitting is manufactured from galvanized iron (G.I.), which is coated with zinc to protect it from rust, corrosion, and environmental wear, ensuring long-term durability even in wet or outdoor conditions.
The 1-inch size is commonly used in domestic water distribution systems, pump lines, irrigation systems, and commercial plumbing networks, where moderate water flow and reliability are required.
Its three-part design allows tight compression when assembled, forming a secure seal that prevents leakage even under pressure.
Because it can be easily unscrewed and reassembled, it significantly reduces maintenance time and cost in plumbing systems.
