Midwest Fasteners Solid Brass Threaded Union Fitting
The Midwest Fasteners Solid Brass Threaded Union Fitting is a family of solid brass union fittings built for joining two sections of threaded pipe or tube where a serviceable disconnect point is needed without cutting the line. This union family is available in equal-size threaded connections ranging from 3/16" x 3/16" up to 3/8" x 3/8", including 1/4" x 1/4" and 5/16" x 5/16" options, so maintenance techs and fabricators can match the exact thread size required for their pipe run. Machined from solid brass across every size in the lineup, these unions provide a durable, corrosion-resistant connection point that stands up to repeated assembly and disassembly in plumbing, hydraulic, and general fluid-handling systems. The threaded connection allows each fitting to be installed and removed with standard wrenches, making this union family a practical choice for a reliable service or shutoff point in a pipe run.
Key Features
- Size Range: Available in equal-size threaded connections from 3/16" x 3/16" through 3/8" x 3/8", including 1/4" x 1/4" and 5/16" x 5/16", for matching two equal-size threaded lines.
- Material: Solid brass construction across the entire size range for corrosion resistance and long service life in plumbing and fluid-handling applications.
- Connection Type: Threaded ends allow installation and removal with standard pipe wrenches, no soldering or solvent welding required.
- Fitting Type: Union-style design creates a serviceable disconnect point in a pipe run for maintenance, repair, or component replacement.
- General-Purpose Brass Fitting: Suited for a range of threaded pipe and tube assemblies where a brass fitting is specified, across every size in the family.
- Consistent Thread Tolerances: Each union, regardless of size, is manufactured to consistent dimensional tolerances so it threads cleanly onto matching pipe or fitting threads without binding or leaking under normal working pressure.
