Equal Unions

Introduction

 In a piping system a fitting that is used to connect two two pipes of equal diameter in a secure yet detachable way are called Equal Unions. They are specifically designed to help in the easy assembly and disassembly of the piping systems without damaging them. A major reason why they are useful in piping systems that require regular routine maintenance, cleaning, or part replacement. 

At Tubotech, a leading Piping and Tubing manufacturer in India we specialise in providing you with a wide range of Equal Unions high in quality and that delivers excellence in performance. They are manufactured using premium-grade stainless steel and precision engineering. Besides, our Equal Unions also prove to be ideally suited for applications that demand strength, corrosion resistance, and easy installation. 

Above all, we pride ourselves in providing for you the perfect piping and tubing solutions that help connect pipes of equal diameter with unmatched durability and efficiency.
