Copper Sweat Union for 1-1/2 Inch Tubing
This straight union joins two lengths of 1-1/2 inch copper tubing using cup connections on both ends. It is built from cast copper and rated for 405 psi at 100 degrees F and 400 degrees F maximum temperature. The fitting suits residential and light commercial plumbing systems.
Replaces Leaking or Corroded Copper Unions
Use this union when an existing sweat joint fails or when re-piping a section of 1-1/2 inch copper line. The jump is worth it if the old fitting shows green corrosion, weeping joints or deformation from over-tightening. It restores a pressure-tight seal without changing pipe size.
Fits Standard 1-5/8 Inch OD Copper Pipe
The cup ends accept 1-1/2 inch nominal tubing with 1-5/8 inch outside diameter, so the surrounding pipe must match that dimension. No flange or threaded adapter is included, freeing the installer to sweat directly into the existing run. Ensure the system operates within the 405 psi and 400 degrees F limits.

Questions about this item
What tube size does the 1 1/2 in copper sweat union fit?
It fits 1 1/2 in copper tube with a 1 5/8 in outer diameter on both ends.
How do I install this sweat union and what step is often missed?
Clean and flux both tube ends, insert fully into each cup, then heat evenly and apply solder all around each joint; the step often missed is heating both cups equally so solder flows into both sockets.
What maintenance or replacement will this copper union need over time?
Inspect joints periodically for leaks or green corrosion; if a joint weeps, the union must be cut out and re-sweated because the soldered connections are not reusable.
