This is a Praher Full Flow Union, 2 Inch, Socket x MPT, designed for Schedule 40 plumbing. Full flow unions are designed to have no restriction of flow when installed. The Praher unions are made of Grade 1 PVC. They have a pressure rating of 50 PSI at 70 degrees F.
Just got back from depot. No have. Embarassed to explain the following. I was working with a buddy and he put the 2 O-rings on top of each other. While at home depot I was looking at the male piece and noticed it. Drove back home. Removed all the teflon because it was sliced like bread over those deep grooves of the union. We are 15 min into lift off and it looks dry at moment.
Thank you everybody. If a slow leak shows I think I will go the silicone route. BTW this time I did hand tighten and then 1/2 turn with wrench.
