Dumb question why use slip fittings for the expensive pieces such as union, gate valves, or union ball valve. My understating when glued it is pretty much impossible to get the pipe out. Seems like it worth while buying male adapters for under a buck a piece to be able to reuse 20+$ fittings. Also if you use threaded at the end of the run pipe it acts as a union.
I understand threaded fittings reduce the amount of pressure the piping can take by about half but reef plumbing is considered low pressure.
