The Pentair SuperFlo/SuperMax 1.5" Union Kit, Black (Part Number 351157) is an essential plumbing accessory designed for easy installation, maintenance, and removal of Pentair SuperFlo and SuperMax series pool pumps.

 

Here's a detailed description of this product:

Purpose:

This kit provides the necessary plumbing unions to connect your Pentair SuperFlo or SuperMax pump to your pool's existing 1.5-inch PVC plumbing lines. Its primary benefit is allowing for quick and tool-free disconnection of the pump from the plumbing, which is invaluable for:

 

  • Routine maintenance: Easy access for cleaning the pump basket.
  • Servicing: Simplifies removal of the pump for repair or winterization.
  • Replacement: Makes swapping out an old pump for a new one a straightforward process.

Key Features:

  • 1.5-inch Plumbing Size: Specifically designed for standard 1.5-inch PVC pipes and fittings commonly used in residential pool plumbing.
  • Union Connection: Consists of two union fittings. A union is a type of fitting that allows for a semi-permanent seal between two pipes that can be easily disconnected without cutting the pipe. This eliminates the need for cutting and re-gluing PVC pipes every time the pump needs to be moved or serviced.
  • Black Color: The fittings are molded in black plastic, which often matches the aesthetic of pool equipment and can offer some UV resistance.
  • Durable Construction: Made from robust, chemical-resistant PVC or similar plastic materials designed to withstand the harsh pool environment (chlorine, UV exposure, pressure) for long-lasting performance.
  • O-Ring Seal: Typically includes internal O-rings that create a watertight, leak-free seal when the union nuts are tightened, eliminating the need for messy thread sealant on the union connection itself.
  • Genuine Pentair Part: Ensures perfect fit and compatibility with Pentair SuperFlo and SuperMax pumps, maintaining the integrity and warranty of your equipment.
  • Kit Contents: Usually includes two union halves (one for the suction side and one for the discharge side of the pump), along with the necessary nuts and O-rings.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed specifically for Pentair SuperFlo and SuperMax series pumps. It may not be compatible with other pump models or brands due to differences in pump port threading or design.

In Summary:

The Pentair SuperFlo/SuperMax 1.5" Union Kit (351157) is a highly practical and durable accessory that streamlines the installation and future maintenance of your Pentair SuperFlo or SuperMax pool pump. By providing easy-to-use union connections, it allows for quick, tool-free disconnection of the pump from your plumbing, saving time and effort during servicing or replacement.
