PerformancePro Artesian2 2″ Union Fitting x 2″ Slip – Quick Connect Pump Union Assembly (MPF-2-200)

About This Product

The PerformancePro Artesian2 2″ Union Fitting x 2″ Slip (MPF-2-200) is a genuine replacement quick-connect union assembly designed for PerformancePro Artesian2 external water pumps. This durable three-piece fitting provides a secure, serviceable connection between the pump and compatible 2-inch PVC plumbing, making it an essential replacement component for koi ponds, water gardens, waterfalls, and aquatic filtration systems.

A properly functioning pump connection is critical for maintaining consistent water circulation and preventing leaks in pond filtration systems. Over time, union fittings may become damaged, worn, or difficult to seal due to repeated maintenance, environmental exposure, or aging components.

The PerformancePro MPF-2-200 provides a convenient solution for replacing a damaged or leaking union assembly without replacing the entire pump.

Featuring a 2-inch union connection and 2-inch slip socket, this fitting is designed to connect directly to compatible Artesian2 pump plumbing. The slip connection accommodates appropriately sized PVC pipe, while the quick-connect union allows the plumbing connection to be separated when pump maintenance is required.

The assembly includes three essential components: a union nut, slip tailpiece, and sealing O-ring. Together, these parts create a removable connection that helps simplify equipment installation, routine servicing, and future pump replacement.

One of the primary advantages of a quick-connect union is the ability to disconnect the pump from its plumbing without cutting permanently installed PVC pipes. This can make tasks such as servicing the pump, inspecting internal components, or replacing worn parts considerably more convenient.

The included O-ring provides the sealing interface between the mating union surfaces when the assembly is properly installed. Maintaining a clean, undamaged O-ring and correctly tightened union nut helps prevent leaks and air entering the system.

Designed specifically for the PerformancePro Artesian2 pump series, the MPF-2-200 offers model-specific compatibility rather than relying on a generic plumbing union.

Whether you’re repairing a leaking connection, restoring an existing pond pump installation, or replacing worn plumbing hardware during routine maintenance, the PerformancePro Artesian2 Quick Connect Union Assembly provides a practical, dependable replacement solution.

Recommended Applications

Artesian2 Pump Repairs

Replace a damaged, worn, or leaking union assembly on a compatible PerformancePro Artesian2 pump.

The complete fitting provides the union nut, tailpiece, and O-ring required for the replacement connection.

Koi Pond Filtration Systems

Maintain reliable connections between compatible Artesian2 pumps and the filtration plumbing used in koi pond installations.

Water Garden Circulation

Restore serviceable plumbing connections on external pump systems used to circulate water through decorative ponds and water gardens.

Waterfalls and Pond Features

Use as a replacement union fitting in compatible external pump installations supporting waterfalls, streams, and ornamental water features.

Pump Maintenance and Replacement

The quick-connect design allows the connection to be separated when the pump needs inspection, servicing, or replacement, without repeatedly cutting the PVC pipe.

Installation Instructions

1. Disconnect Electrical Power

Turn off the PerformancePro Artesian2 pump and disconnect its electrical power supply.

Never attempt to disconnect plumbing while the pump is running.

2. Isolate and Drain the Plumbing

Close appropriate isolation valves and release any remaining pressure from the plumbing.

Drain the affected section as necessary to prevent uncontrolled water discharge when the existing union is removed.

3. Remove the Existing Union

Carefully loosen the existing union nut and separate the connection.

Inspect the pump connection and surrounding plumbing for cracks, damaged threads, or other problems.

If the existing tailpiece is permanently attached to PVC pipe, modification or replacement of that section of plumbing may be necessary.

4. Prepare the Replacement Assembly

Inspect the new MPF-2-200 union nut, tailpiece, and O-ring.

Ensure the O-ring is clean, correctly positioned, and free of visible damage.

Confirm the fitting is compatible with the installed Artesian2 pump.

5. Connect the Slip Tailpiece

Attach the 2-inch slip connection to compatible PVC pipe using an appropriate PVC solvent-welding procedure.

Follow the solvent cement manufacturer’s surface preparation, application, and curing instructions.

Do not apply PVC cement to the O-ring, union nut threads, or removable sealing faces.

6. Assemble the Union

Bring the mating union surfaces together with the O-ring correctly seated.

Tighten the union nut securely according to the pump manufacturer’s instructions.

Avoid excessive force, which can damage the fitting or sealing components.

7. Inspect and Test

Allow any solvent-welded plumbing connections to cure fully before restoring water flow.

Open the appropriate valves, prime the pump according to its instructions, and inspect the connection for leaks.

Verify normal pump operation before returning the filtration system to regular service.

Maintenance and Care Recommendations

Inspect the union fitting periodically for leaks, cracks, loose connections, or visible damage.

During pump servicing, examine the O-ring for flattening, cracking, deformation, or other signs of deterioration.

Clean the sealing surfaces before reassembling the union.

Replace damaged O-rings with correctly sized and specified PerformancePro replacement parts.

Avoid overtightening the union nut or using excessive force during disassembly.

Protect exposed plumbing and fittings from freezing conditions that could cause trapped water to expand and damage components.

When servicing the plumbing, always shut off the pump and release system pressure before loosening the union.

Important Product Information

The PerformancePro MPF-2-200 is a model-specific quick-connect union assembly intended for compatible Artesian2 pumps.

It is not a universal union fitting and should not be assumed to fit other PerformancePro pump families.

PerformancePro also manufactures ArtesianPro fittings with different union configurations. Verify your pump series before ordering.

The listed 2-inch dimensions refer to the nominal connection sizes, not the outside dimensions of the assembled fitting.

The assembly includes the union nut, tailpiece, and O-ring. It does not include the pump, PVC pipe, installation adhesives, valves, or additional plumbing accessories.

Recommended application: A genuine PerformancePro Artesian2 replacement union assembly designed to connect compatible 2-inch pump ports to 2-inch PVC plumbing. Ideal for repairing leaking fittings, replacing damaged connections, and simplifying maintenance on koi pond, water garden, waterfall, and aquatic filtration pump systems.
