PVC Union 2in x 2in slip x slip
Simplify your future aquarium maintenance and protect your filtration equipment with a heavy-duty PVC Union 2in x 2in slip x slip fitting. When it comes to the initial plumbing, servicing, repair, or replacement of any hardware, unions will be your best friend. This heavy-duty Schedule 40 plumbing connector lets you easily take apart plumbing sections or remove sumps and pumps for maintenance with unions, completely eliminating the need to cut your PVC lines when a pump needs servicing. This double slip x slip connection slides directly onto 2-inch rigid pipes to form a completely leak-proof joint when solvent-welded. A unique advantage is that the swivel action of a union allows one to position the angle of the elbow even after the glue dries, saving you from alignment mistakes during a complex reef tank build. Don't skimp on unions when building your next fish tank manifold or return lines; adding a few extra bucks right off the start will pay for themselves down the line when you only need to replace a foot of plumbing and not all of it.

The golden rule of plumbing is that every job takes three trips to the store. While this can be frustrating locally it can be much worse when shopping online. Being short a fitting or two can delay a plumbing project for days. Here are some quick tips to avoid this.
- Plan your plumbing on paper
- Don't skimp on unions. Unions allow for easy breakdown and maintenance as well as remove the need for precise elbow placement. Use them as often as possible.
- When in doubt order extra. We happily accept returns for a full refund (less shipping) on all unused fittings within one month of purchase. A few extra bucks in return shipping is less frustrating than a project delay.
