STRAIGHT UNION

A straight union, also commonly referred to as a straight coupling, is a fundamental component in the realm of piping and plumbing systems. It plays a pivotal role in connecting two pipes or tubes in a direct, linear fashion, allowing for a seamless flow of liquids, gases, or other substances. This type of union is characterized by its simple and efficient design, making it a versatile and widely used fitting in various industrial, residential, and commercial applications.

The purpose of a straight union is to join two sections of piping or tubing in a straight line, ensuring a tight and leak-free connection. Its design typically consists of two female threaded ends, allowing for the secure attachment of male-threaded pipes or fittings. In some cases, unions may have one male and one female threaded end to accommodate specific needs within a plumbing or piping system.
