LF3003 Series Dielectric Unions

Watts LF3003 Series dielectric unions are installed at the junction of pipes with varying metal compositions, such as water heaters or pumps, to isolate the metals and reduce potential corrosion caused by electrolysis. These unions effectively maintain water quality and extend the lifespan of plumbing systems by preventing leaks and deterioration due to the chemical reactions caused by metal interaction. The brand's LF3003 Series dielectric unions safeguard water distribution systems, ensuring reliability and durability. They come with a comprehensive assembly consisting of a union nut, two tailpieces and a gasket. This combination creates a robust barrier against electric currents, effectively preventing galvanic corrosion. They have a design with a female iron pipe thread to female brass pipe thread connection, facilitating seamless integration and secure attachment between different types of pipes. These dielectric unions have Buna-N gasket, preventing leakage.

Dielectric Unions

Watts dielectric unions are used in HVAC equipment, hot water storage tanks, and piping system for reducing the deterioration and accelerated corrosion caused due to stray and galvanic currents. These unions are capable of withstanding temperatures and pressures up to 180 degrees F and 250 psi, respectively. They are offered in FIP, MIP & solder connection options, to allow easy installation on pipe sizes ranging from 1/2 to 4 inches, on Raptor Supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is stray current?

Stray current produces a high number of anodes & cathodes that can inadvertently enter an alternate (but unintended) path and create corrosion in the piping system.

What is the function of tailpieces in a dielectric union?

Tailpieces allow connecting ends of two dissimilar pipe systems so that liquid can be safely transported with minimal leakage.

How does the dielectric union break continuity?

When dielectric unions are connected between two dissimilar pipes, they ground the electric current and break continuity for complete insulation between the two environments.

How to install a dielectric union between steel and copper pipes?

  • Wrap several layers of sealing tape over the threads of the steel pipe.
  • Connect the threaded end of the dielectric union to the steel pipe and turn it clockwise using a pipe wrench.
  • Slide the union nut over the end of the copper pipe and place the plastic insulator over the copper pipe.
  • Install the copper solder adapter onto the copper pipe and sweat adapter using a propane torch.
  • Allow the pipe to cool.
  • Quickly slide the rubber gasket between the union nut & body and assemble it.
  • Inspect to ensure a watertight connection.
