NVS 3/4″ Solar Energy Union
NVS - 3/4 -Solar Energy Union
A union with 3/4 male connections on both sides. It can be used reliably in solar heating systems.
Thanks to its union design, it can easily be used in many applications. Made from first-class yellow brass.
A solar energy union is a special fitting used in solar energy systems to make pipe connections or for collector installation. It is generally made of stainless steel, brass or chrome-plated material and withstands high temperatures.
Intended Use
- Solar Collector Connection:
- In solar energy systems, it provides the connection between the collector and the tank or the piping.
- High-Temperature Resistance:
- Made of a material suitable for hot water (stainless steel).
- Sealing:
- Prevents water leaks with a gasketed or PTFE-taped connection.
Solar Energy Union Types
| Type | Material | Features |
|---|---|---|
| Stainless Steel Union | Grade 304 or 316 Stainless Steel | High temperature and corrosion resistance |
| Brass Union | Brass (yellow) | Economical solution, medium temperature resistance |
| Chrome-Plated Union | Brass + Chrome | Decorative, used in outdoor installations |
How Is It Installed?
- Drain the system and stop the water flow.
- Screw the union onto the collector outlet (use PTFE tape or a high-temperature gasket).
- Connect the other end to the installation pipe.
- Perform a pressure test to check for leaks.
Example Use Cases
- "I prevented hot water leaks in my solar energy system by using a stainless steel union."
- "I connected the rooftop solar collector to the piping with a chrome-plated union."
⚠️ Points to Note:
- Use a high-temperature gasket (standard gaskets may melt).
- Choose stainless steel models for a long-lasting solution.
