Watts 0881429 1.5" Dielectric Union Gasket Kit GB-E

The Watts 0881429 1.5” Dielectric Union Gasket Kit GB-E is an essential component in HVAC systems that helps to avoid galvanic corrosion. When two different types of metals like copper and steel are in contact with the system this setup will create an electric current that will cause faster corrosion. The kit consists of dielectric unions, which are fittings with an insulating core, a non-conductive plastic, that interrupts the electrical continuity of the different metals. This effect segregates the metals and breaks the circuit, which better minimizes the chances of corrosion and therefore increases the longevity of the HVAC systems. The kit can be used with air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigeration equipment among others.
