Frequently Asked Questions
What are steel compression unions used for in marine systems?
Steel compression unions are used to connect pipes and tubes securely, providing a leak-proof joint that can be easily disassembled for maintenance. They are common in fuel, water, hydraulic, and pneumatic lines onboard ships.
Are these unions suitable for seawater applications?
Yes, the surface-treated steel construction provides good corrosion resistance in marine environments. For highly corrosive conditions, stainless steel versions are recommended.
What is the maximum working pressure?
Our steel compression unions are rated up to 3000 psi, depending on size and thread type. Always verify the pressure rating for your specific application before installation.
Do I need special tools to install compression unions?
No, compression unions require only standard wrenches. The compression nut tightens directly onto the pipe/tube, forming a secure seal without welding or soldering.
