Questions about this item

Which size and connection type should I select for a 2 1/2 inch copper line?

The union is a single 2 1/2 inch cup-by-MNPT configuration in bronze, so no alternative sizes or connection styles are offered for this listing.

How does the 269 psi rating apply when the fitting is installed in a potable water system?

It represents the maximum operating pressure the bronze union can withstand at up to 200 °F under ASME B16.18 and NSF/ANSI 61 potable-water approvals.

What do the ASME B16.18 and NSF/ANSI 372/61 standards limit in practice?

They certify the bronze alloy for lead-free potable water use and define the pressure-temperature envelope the straight union must meet at 2 1/2 inch nominal size.
