Dielectric Unions
Dielectric unions are used to separate two dissimilar metal pipes (such as copper pipes and galvanized steel). Purpose of dielectric unions is to prevent galvanic corrosion, which is caused by electrolysis.

Why don't we show the price?
Retailers like PexUniverse have the legal right to set their own prices independently, but some manufacturers place restrictions on how those prices may be communicated. Because our price on this item is lower than the manufacturer's "minimum advertised price", the manufacturer does not allow us to show you our price until you take further action, such as placing the item in your shopping cart, or in some cases, proceeding to the final checkout stage. The steps required depend on the details of the manufacturer's minimum advertised price policy. Taking these steps allows PexUniverse to show you our price consistent with our goal of always offering you the lowest possible prices on the widest selection of products.
This won't require you to purchase the product. You can easily remove it from your cart if you decide not to buy it.
We realize that this is an inconvenience and are regularly working to educate manufacturers on how their policies impact our customers.
Electrolytic corrosion occurs in plumbing systems that contain dissimilar metals. The process of corrosion is rapid when the water is present in the system, since it acts as a medium between the two metals. The three components: water and two metals, form a "battery", where electric current carries ions from one metal to another, causing it to dissolve. The washer inside the union prevents such current from flowing, thus preventing corrosion itself.
