Description
A dielectric union is a specialized plumbing fitting designed to connect pipes made of dissimilar metals while preventing galvanic corrosion. This B&K model serves as a critical barrier between different metal types—such as copper, brass, and iron—stopping the electrochemical reaction that causes corrosion and leaks over time. Dielectric unions are essential in any plumbing system where different metals meet, protecting your pipes and extending the life of your installation.
The B&K 165-004 is a straightforward, reliable solution for both professional plumbers and homeowners tackling repair or upgrade projects. Its standard 3/4 inch female pipe thread (FPT) connections on both ends make it compatible with brass, copper, and iron pipes. Installation requires only basic hand tools and takes just minutes, making this fitting accessible to anyone with fundamental plumbing knowledge.
