How to find the right part The marking 50 × 1 1/2″ ext. means a solvent weld socket for a 50 mm pipe and a 1 1/2″ male thread, while int. indicates a female thread. Choose the thread side according to the pump or filter port onto which you screw the union. A brass thread suits connection to metal ports, where a plastic thread could be damaged when tightened. What to watch out for The seal is provided by the sealing ring or O-ring inside the union – check on every disassembly that it is not cracked, and tighten the nut by hand, not with a wrench. Seal the thread with PTFE tape. For permanent joints use a coupling from the category Couplings & Sockets, and you will find ball valves in the category Shutoff Valves.
