Spears 897-007C – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes does the Spears 897 CPVC union come in?
The Spears 897 socket x socket CPVC union is offered in three sizes: 3/4 inch (897-007C), 1 inch (897-010C), and 2 inch (897-020C). Order by the pipe size you are joining, since both ends are solvent-weld sockets sized to match CPVC pipe.
2) Is this a threaded union or does it solvent weld?
Both ends are sockets, so the 897 union solvent welds to CPVC pipe on each side. There are no pipe threads on the end connections. If you need to break into a threaded metal or threaded plastic line, you want a socket x thread or thread x thread union instead, or a transition fitting ahead of this union.
3) Can I take this union apart later without cutting the CPVC pipe?
That is the point of it. The 897 is a three piece union: two socket ends and a nut. Once the sockets are welded in, backing off the nut separates the joint so you can pull a pump, valve, or strainer for service and reassemble without cutting into the run. Only the initial solvent weld is permanent.
4) Will the EPDM seal in this union hold up on hot water lines?
The 897 union uses an EPDM O-ring seal at the union interface, and the fitting is listed for hot and cold water piping runs in CPVC systems. EPDM is the seal to use on water service; it is not the choice for petroleum based fluids or oils, where an alternate elastomer is called for.
5) Can I use a CPVC union on a PVC line?
The 897 is CPVC material. CPVC and PVC sockets share the same nominal pipe sizes, but the cement is different and the materials are specified for different temperature ranges, so the standard practice is to use PVC fittings on PVC and CPVC fittings on CPVC. If your run is PVC, buy the PVC equivalent union rather than mixing materials mid-line.
6) Where should I put unions in a CPVC system rather than just gluing straight through?
Put them where you will need to break the line again: either side of a pump, valve, filter, or water heater connection, and at maintenance access points on a distribution run. Everywhere else, a coupling is cheaper and lower profile. The 897 exists so that a future repair does not mean cutting and re-welding adjacent piping.
7) How many unions come in a pack of the Spears 897?
They ship 5 each per pack. If you are placing a union at every service point on a job, factor that quantity in rather than ordering singles.
8) Where do I find socket depth and laying length dimensions for the Spears 897 union?
Spears publishes the CPVC Schedule 80 fittings and unions dimension sheet, which carries the take-out and socket dimensions you need to lay out a run before cutting pipe. The brochure and the Schedule 80 dimensional sheets are both attached to the product record.
