You've got the name right, it's a pipe union. They should be easily available in PVC. I know I've seen them up to 1" or 1.5" on well pump installations. The 2" is somewhat unusual; might need to go t

thanks wayne. home depot and lowes had zip in any size. saw nothing at ace either--they seem to be a little bit better. I'm not *positive* it's abs--it's a soft-ish black plastic. I don't know how to

Hmm, I guess they quit carrying them in the larger sizes. Home Depot used to have both socket weld and compression unions for PVC in 2"; but 1.5" is the biggest I see on their web site. But MMC has

Forgot to add, I really like the compression unions IF you've got enough room for them. They tolerate a small amount of angular misalignment, as well as several inches along-axis. But you'll need a

That's what I was going to suggest, too. If you can remove the plug to work on it (sounds like you can), then treat the repair as you would think about repairing cracked metal with a weld - vee it o

It doesn't sound too odd to me; as long as it's protected from solar UV (which is an issue for any plastic or rubber pipe outdoors) I wouldn't think anything about that application represents the ki

We did the same thing at our old house. I figured it wouldn't last more than a season or two from the constant exposure but needed something for a quick fix. Darned if it didn't last for years and it

If that's good enough for the temperature and pressure of a truck radiator, I'm sure it's just fine for a hot tub! Don't forget that unlike a water supply line, the hot tub plumbing has only a few po

Well, if you consider 30+ psi to be "only a few pounds". Truck radiators also usually lack free chlorine, while I have to take my pool up to 3ppm at least twice a year or so. Chlorine is incredibly

You can purchase unions for that size pipe at the home depot. If you can not find them there get them at a pool store. This is what I have on my pool plumbing and it works great. Ron Olds --Original
