	[[Image:Union.jpg\|right\|thumb\|250px\|A diagram of a union]]A '''union''' is a fitting that allows a threaded joint without requiring the joined pipes to be rotated. They are usually made of either steel, brass or PVC. Most unions are [[pressure rated]]. A union consists of two ~~male~~ threaded pieces, connected by a threaded oversized nut. The pipe couplings are either socket-weld, [[sweating\|capillary]] (for brass) or threaded. PVC unions have been known to blow up when used in [[hybrid]]s, Boogieman and LuckyThirteen13's PVC unions have exploded before. Variations on the union exist, like 90 degree unions. Alternatives to unions include [[flange]]s and [[camlock coupling]]s.
