DescriptionThe GPS Series 2-passage rotary unions provide two independent flow passages for simultaneous transfer of different media. They use specialized sealing technology for vacuum and bidirectional pressure applications and are available with stainless steel housings for corrosive media or carbon steel options for non-corrosive service. Standard GPS 2-passage models feature NPT threaded connections and a shaft configuration that supports installation via threaded passages or O-ring face seal glands for flush mounting.

Notes / Warnings* Some chemical or water-based applications may require alternative seal materials. Temperatures above 220° F (105° C) require alternative seals. Operational life depends on rotational speed and duty cycle. High-speed continuous duty or water at temperatures above 212° F (100° C) may require special seals and design consideration.
