Spears 897 Series PVC Pipe Fitting, Union with EPDM O-Ring, Schedule 80, 2" Socket

Price is beyond ridiculous. Had to have this brand and model so I had no choice. Aside from the price gouge it is an excellent product.

I used each side of this union to cap off and winterize my sprinkler system, I had to use this genuine Spears for the unique thread. Shipped out in a reasonable time and was better than driving to the nearest distributor.

Nice quality at a fair price. I could not find these spears 897 series union anywhere but on line. They have a unique thread size and aren't compatible with most other unions.

High quality pvc fittings, shipped quickly.

Parts were as advertised and good price.

I bought this union hoping to match it to an existing older union. The original installed union has the flat/mating surface on the female side, the o-rings (two of them in the older union) on the male side. This union is opposite. The o-ring piece is fitted with the female side, the flat mating surface is on the male side. The three stars is not for that fitment issue, but that there is some deformed roughness on the o-ring piece with marks that look like it was cut off a molding stem. It needs some file dressing to remove the burr left behind. Such 'fixing' should not be required on a new fitting. Incidentally, this union has ONE o-ring, not two. I have not seen a double-ringed union prior to taking my plumbing apart. IF you are hoping to match your two-ring union and do not have the room to completely replace the union, THIS piece may well NOT work for you.

Great quality. Schedule 80 is so much better.

Good quality. Seems sturdier than other fittings tried.
