Figure 1003 | 10,000 PSI Misaligning Hammer Union
C&C Industries
The C&C Figure 1003 Hammer Union is a high-pressure misaligning union designed for applications where piping alignment cannot be maintained. Capable of up to 7.5° angular adjustment per side (15° total), it allows for flexibility in installation while maintaining reliable sealing performance at pressures up to 10,000 PSI.
Constructed from high-strength alloy steel and equipped with a BUNA-N lip-type seal, the Figure 1003 is built for severe service environments involving water, oil, gas, or drilling fluids. Its butt-weld connection design ensures structural integrity in high-pressure systems.
This union is essential in real-world installations where perfect alignment is not achievable, preventing stress loading and premature failure.
Typical Applications:
Misaligned piping systems, high-pressure flowlines, frac equipment, mud systems, and oil & gas production lines

PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES
Why the FIG 1003 Performs Where It Counts
COMPENSATES FOR PIPE MISALIGNMENT WITHOUT SYSTEM STRESS
The ability to accommodate angular misalignment prevents excessive stress on piping, welds, and connections, reducing the risk of cracking or failure.
MAINTAINS SEALING PERFORMANCE
UNDER NON-IDEAL CONDITIONS
Even with misalignment, the sealing system maintains pressure integrity, ensuring reliable performance where standard unions would leak or fail.
REDUCES INSTALLATION TIME
& FIELD MODIFICATIONS
By eliminating the need for perfect alignment, the union reduces the need for rework, pipe adjustments, or custom fabrication in the field.
PREVENTS PREMATURE FAILURE IN
HIGH-PRESSURE SYSTEMS
Misalignment is a major cause of failure in rigid systems. This design removes that risk, improving system longevity and reducing downtime.
