You can purchase unions for that size pipe at the home depot. If you can
not find them there get them at a pool store. This is what I have on my
pool plumbing and it works great.

Subject: [Shop-talk] pvc unions?
I need to disassemble some pvc tubing on a swimming pool filter system.
right now the tubing is permanently plumbed to the filter. when I cut the
lines to remove the filter, I'd like to be able to install something that
will let me disconnect the filter again for service later without cutting
the pipe. I was thinking something like what you connect a p-trap with,
only larger, but I don't see anything like that.
does anyone know of such fittings? I cruised the big box stores and didn't
see anything--only repair sleeves for gluing. it's about 2-inch pvc tubing,
for what it's worth.
also, anyone know a good abs glue/sealant (separate issue). the filter body
itself is made of what appears to be abs and a 1.5" threaded plug in the
body has developed a crack. I haven't been able to find another one and the
company that makes the filter has been bought out. I'd prefer not to buy a
new filter just for the plug.
thanks.
scott
