Brass Straight Union 1" FERRO SGU7 — plumbing fitting for pipe connections

FERRO SGU7 is a brass straight union 1" designed for durable plumbing and pipe connection applications. This fitting creates a straight-through joint between compatible pipes or components, providing a reliable metal-to-metal connection for water and heating systems. The union is intended for use where a corrosion-resistant brass connector is required for installation, repair, or replacement of plumbing lines and radiator or boiler connections.

Advantages

The brass construction offers good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength suitable for domestic and commercial water and heating installations. The straight union design simplifies alignment of pipes and reduces strain on connected components. Precision machining ensures tight fits and leak-resistant joints when installed correctly, and the 1" size corresponds to common residential and light-commercial piping standards.

Suitable for

• Connecting straight sections of plumbing pipe in water supply systems
• Joining radiator, boiler, and heating circuit lines
• Repairing or replacing damaged couplings in household plumbing
• Temporary or permanent straight-through pipe connections where brass is specified

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Connection type: straight union (through joint)
• Nominal size: 1 inch
• Intended media: potable water and heating fluids
• Typical installation environments: domestic and light-commercial plumbing and heating systems

How to use

Select compatible 1" pipes or fittings with matching thread or seating surfaces, prepare pipe ends by cleaning and deburring, and align components before assembling the union. Apply appropriate sealing method for the specific piping type (thread sealant, PTFE tape or gasket if required by the mating parts) and hand-tighten initial engagement. Complete tightening using suitable tools while avoiding over-torquing to prevent deformation of the brass parts. After assembly, pressurize the system and inspect the joint for leaks; retighten or re-seal if necessary following manufacturer-recommended torque or sealing procedures for connected components.

Usage recommendations

Use in systems with compatible materials to avoid galvanic corrosion; when connecting to dissimilar metals, consider dielectric fittings or appropriate isolation. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature limits of the overall piping system; consult system specifications for maximum allowed values. For critical installations, perform pressure testing and follow local plumbing codes and standards during installation.
