i am spending way too much time looking for the union fitting i need. can someone link to the proper worded item either at supplyhouse. or HD or your favorite site? i really only need the male portion, but wouldnt mind replacing the whole 3 pieces if needed especially since i want to duplicate it on the other side instead of using a copper crush collar.

male thread is 1-1/16 and its a 1/2 female sweat pipe.
the male bushing going into the baseboard seems to have the same thread size and the union male thread looks maybe 3/4.
(for what its worth, i dont know how they tightened the union into the bushing)

Try "radiator union elbow". I'm not familiar with the various sizes myself.

Edit: With a sweat outlet it might be a "sweat radiator union elbow". But you could always use a threaded outlet and separate male or female sweat adapter.

Cheers, Wayne
