Technical Overview
Union connectors provide a removable joint, typically with mating faces and a nut or clamping arrangement. Precision in sealing face flatness and thread concentricity is critical to avoid leaks. Brass offers consistent machinability for these features and acceptable corrosion resistance in many environments.
