The 3U Series is an all purpose light weight quality union designed for leak proof operation as it cycles through a wide range of temperatures. The design offers a non-restrictive flow with no variation in pipe diameter in most sizes. The reusable metal-to-metal sealing components further enhance the seal as temperature and pressure changes are encountered. The safety ring ensures safe venting of residual pressure.
Contains fugitive emissions
Designed to replace conventional medium pressure unions/couplings
Easier installation and maintenance
Fully interchangeable with each other
Low profile/light weight
Reduced chance of galling
Repeatedly reusable metal-to-metal wedge seal
Unique automatic safety feature vents residual pressure during uncoupling should residual pressure remain
Only light torque required when tightening to rated pressure
Available in 1/4” to 2” sizes
Materials: 316 Stainless Steel and Carbon Steel
Compact and available in any combination of threaded, butt weld or socket weld ends
Applications
Applications include: Next to sensitive electronic equipment e.g. most flow meters, modular skid “tie-ins”, high pressure gas/oil, meter/production flow production, gas distribution “tie-ins”, high axial load stresses, sour gas, unconventionally high pressures and high erosion/corrosion applications.
