Albion CSU Stainless Steel 316 Female Cone Seat (Conical) Union BSPP
The Albion CSU female cone seat union is cast from high quality AISI 316 stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance in plumbing, industrial, and process pipework systems. Its conical (cone seat) sealing face creates a metal-to-metal connection for high integrity, leak-tight sealing in higher pressure or temperature applications.
Featuring female BSPP parallel threaded ends manufactured to ISO 7-1 (EN 10226-1) standards and built to ISO 4144:2003, this stainless steel union is suitable for water, steam, and various industrial fluids, with a maximum operating pressure of 20 bar (PN20) at up to 40°C and an operating temperature range of -25°C to 180°C.
Conical vs Flat-Faced Unions:
Conical (cone seat) unions provide a metal-to-metal seal, ideal for higher pressure or temperature systems. Flat-faced unions, in contrast, use a PTFE gasket for lower-to-medium pressure applications. Both allow secure BSPP threaded pipe connections and are selected based on system requirements.
