MALE/FEMALE UNION

Male-Female unions

male-female union is a type of pipe fitting designed to join a pipe or fitting with internal (female) threads to a pipe or fitting with external (male) threads, while also allowing for easy disconnection and reassembly of the pipeline system without rotating the entire pipe run.

They are crucial for systems requiring frequent maintenance or modifications. 

Key Features

A male-female union fitting is composed of three parts:

  • male end with external threads.
  • female end with internal threads designed to receive the male end.
  • A central nut that draws the male and female ends together to create a secure seal, often using a conical seat or a gasket (like a PTFE washer). 

This design allows for a secure, detachable, and reusable mechanical joint.

  • Pressure Rating: 3000lb (3000 psi or 206 bar).
  • Material: Forged carbon steel (ASTM A105N)
  • Thread Type: Available with NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads (to ASME B1.20.1) or BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) threads (to ISO 7-1) on both ends.
  • Connection: Female conical seat union design for a secure, self-sealing connection.

These unions are manufactured to ASME B16.11
