FMC Hammer or Wing
Unions
Hammer Unions, also called Wing Unions, are quick
makeup and break-out
pipe and fitting connectors that consist of a male sub
with a spherical
sealing surface, a female sub with external acme threads,
and a wing nut
with internal acme threads to hold the components
together.
A safety
bulletin describing the general categories of hammer
union connection
and component mismatches is available from FMC.
