Why Use 200-903
If you’re installing or replacing a 2″ valve — especially from Praher — the 200-903 union offers a dependable, OEM-grade connection that supports full water flow and resists leaks. It’s an excellent choice for new pool builds, repairs, or service-professional plumbing work where reliability and ease of maintenance matter most.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Ensure the slip side is solvent-welded into the PVC plumbing per standard Schedule 40 PVC cement procedures.
- Thread the MPT side into the valve housing hand-tight, then finish with a quarter turn if needed — avoid over-tightening to protect threads and O-ring seal.
- Before first use and after seasonal shutdown, inspect the O-ring for wear or cracks and replace if needed to maintain leak-free service.
- When removing for maintenance, slightly back off the union to relieve pressure before loosening to avoid stress on valve components.
