Dielectric Unions/Nipples
Dielectric unions are specialized fittings designed to prevent accelerated corrosion and deterioration in piping systems due to galvanic and stray currents. Utilized in both commercial and residential applications, these unions facilitate the connection of dissimilar metal pipes while mitigating the risk of galvanic corrosion. The unique design of dielectric unions incorporates materials that effectively isolate the different metals, ensuring the durability and longevity of the entire piping system.
Dielectric Unions are used in commercial and residential applications to prevent accelerated corrosion and deterioration in the piping system due to galvanic and stray current. It is installed between pipes made from dissimilar metal.
Features
- Isolation of dissimilar metals: Dielectric unions effectively isolate different metal pipes, preventing galvanic corrosion and improving the lifespan of the piping system.
- Versatility: Available in various configurations, sizes, and materials, dielectric unions cater to diverse requirements and can be used in a wide range of applications.
