Frequently Asked Questions

Can a dielectric union be used between stainless steel and copper pipes?

When copper is used with carbon steel or galvanised steel, dielectric unions must be used to electrically insulate each material. But when copper is connected with stainless steel, a brass / bronze fitting can provide sufficient electrical separation between the two materials.

How does the dielectric union break continuity?

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

How to install the Watts dielectric union?

  • Wrap several layers of sealing tape over the threads of the steel pipe.
  • Install the threaded end of the dielectric union to the steel pipe and turn it clockwise with the help of a pipe wrench.
  • Next, slide the union nut over the end of the copper pipe with an open threaded end facing out. Also, slide 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.
  • Slide the rubber gasket between the union nut and the union body and assemble it.
  • Inspect to ensure a watertight connection.
