Genuine AstralPool® and Hurlcon 50mm/40mm Barrel Union Set
Includes union nut, O-ring and union tail to suit a wide range of AstralPool, Hurlcon, Fluidra and selected Filtrite pool and spa equipment using this common Astral / Hurlcon barrel union pattern. Suits almost all Astralpool & Hurlcon pumps, chlorinators, gas heaters, etc since approx 1999. See below for expanded list of compatible products.
We keep these physically in stock for fast shipping or local pick-up, unlike most drop-shipping websites.
This is one of the most common AstralPool / Hurlcon plumbing unions used across many pool pumps, cartridge filters, media filters, salt chlorinators, dosing cells, leaf canisters, blowers and selected gas heaters where 40mm or 50mm pressure PVC plumbing is used.
- Genuine OEM AstralPool / Hurlcon / Fluidra spare part set
- Suits 40mm and 50mm pressure PVC pipe
- Common replacement union used across a wide range of Astral / Hurlcon equipment
- Fast shipping Australia-wide
- Pickup available: 1/10 Industry Blvd, Carrum Downs VIC
Pipe Sizes Supported
- 40mm pressure PVC: approx. 48mm OD
- 50mm pressure PVC: approx. 60-61mm OD
Important: In pool plumbing, the nominal pipe size is not the actual outside measurement. If unsure, measure the outside diameter (OD) of your pipe before ordering.
What’s Included
- 1 x Union Nut – 950919
- 1 x Union O-Ring – 70003
- 1 x Union Tail – newer 40mm / 50mm combo tail - old tail here 950920
2026 Update: New 40mm / 50mm Combo Tail
Fluidra updated many of these unions from separate 40mm and 50mm tails to a newer single dual-size combo tail. The nut, thread and O-ring pattern remain the same, but the new tail is typically ABS and is generally longer than the earlier single 50mm tail.
- Old style: separate 40mm reducer tail or separate 50mm tail
- New style: one combo tail that accepts either 40mm or 50mm pressure PVC
- Tail material: ABS on the newer combo version
- Please check clearance: the newer combo tail can alter the installed length on tight equipment pads
If you specifically want the older single 50mm tail: you can order it separately as a product add-on from this listing, or click here for the old 50mm tail. These are no longer manufactured, so supply is limited to stock on hand.
Solvent Cement / Installation Notes
Because the newer combo tail is ABS, best practice is to use a proper ABS-to-PVC transition solvent cement when joining to PVC pressure pipe. Always allow suitable cure time before pressure testing or normal operation.

Not all versions of every model use the same union arrangement. Some valve unions, heater unions and older plumbing configurations are different. This listing is for the common Astral / Hurlcon barrel union pattern only.
Before You Order
- Measure the outside diameter of your pipe
- Compare your existing nut, tail and O-ring with the product photos
- Check whether you need the new combo tail or the older single 50mm tail
- For filters and heaters, make sure you are matching the equipment barrel union and not a different valve-specific union
Not sure? Send us a clear photo of the equipment label, your existing union, and a quick pipe OD measurement. We will help you match the correct part before you buy.

In plumbing, named sizes are not the actual measurements. A pipe called “50mm” or “2"” does not measure 50 mm across. Instead, it follows nominal sizing, an internationally-standardised naming system.
Use the Outside Diameter (OD) to check your pipe against fittings. Below is a quick reference for common spa & pool pipe sizes:
| Imperial Name | Metric Name | Pipe Diameter (OD) |
|---|---|---|
| 1" | 25 mm | ~33.4–33.7 mm |
| 1.5" | 40 mm | ~48.1–48.4 mm |
| 2" | 50 mm | ~60.2–60.8 mm |
| 2.5" | 65 mm | ~75.2–75.5 mm |
These are nominal sizes and are designed to fit matching fittings — not to measure exactly what their name suggests.
Understanding Plumbing Sizes & Nominal Measurements
Plumbing sizes can be confusing. PVC and many other pipe systems use nominal sizes—the size is a name, not the exact measured dimension. This convention is used across most pool and spa systems so that pipes and fittings remain compatible.
Why pipe sizes don’t match the measurements
The Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) system standardises pipe dimensions so that pipes, fittings, valves, and accessories interoperate. Plumbers work with these nominal names every day, but DIYers can be tripped up if they try to match by a tape-measure alone.
How to Measure Pipe Correctly
-
Pipe size is identified by:
- The pipe’s Outside Diameter (OD).
- The fitting’s Inside Diameter (ID) (socket opening).
- Pipe Class / Schedule (e.g., Class 9, 12, 18 or Sch 40) relates to wall thickness and therefore the Internal Diameter (ID) and pressure rating.
- The outside diameter of a fitting is not useful (wall thickness varies by manufacturer).
PVC Pressure Pipe AS/NZ 1477 Dimensions1:
Common nominal sizes with typical outside diameters and indicative inside diameters by class.
| Imperial Name | Metric Name | Outside Diameter (OD) |
|---|---|---|
| 1/2" | 15 mm | ~21.2–21.5 mm |
| 3/4" | 20 mm | ~26.6–26.9 mm |
| 1" | 25 mm | ~33.4–33.7 mm |
| 32 mm | ~42.1–42.4 mm | |
| 1.5" | 40 mm | ~48.1–48.4 mm |
| 2" | 50 mm | ~60.2–60.8 mm |
| 65 mm | ~75.2–75.5 mm | |
| 2.5" | ~73 mm |
- º Internal diameters vary slightly by manufacturer and class.
- 1 Not all pool/spa fittings match these dimensions exactly. Some do not follow Australian or international standards. Chinese spas may use proprietary fittings.
Hose & Tube Dimensions
Common flexible hose sizes used in pool/spa systems (approximate IDs).
| Imperial Name | Metric Name | Inside Diameter (ID) |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" | 9–10 mm | ~9 mm |
| 3/4" | 19 mm | ~19 mm |
BSP – British Standard Pipe Thread Sizes
BSP thread names are also nominal. The thread OD will not equal the nominal name.
| BSP Thread Size Naming | Outside Diameter (mm / inch) | TPI |
|---|---|---|
| 1/16" BSP | 7.7 mm / 0.304" | 28 |
| 1/8" BSP | 9.7 mm / 0.383" | 28 |
| 1/4" BSP | 13.16 mm / 0.518" | 19 |
| 3/8" BSP | 16.66 mm / 0.656" | 19 |
| 1/2" BSP / 15 mm | 20.99 mm / 0.825" | 14 |
| 5/8" BSP | 22.99 mm / 0.902" | 14 |
| 3/4" BSP / 20 mm | 26.44 mm / 1.041" | 14 |
| 7/8" BSP | 30.20 mm / 1.189" | 14 |
| 1" BSP / 25 mm | 33.25 mm / 1.309" | 11 |
| 1-1/4" BSP | 41.91 mm / 1.650" | 11 |
