    Do you have solid PVC pipes? if so you can use glued fittings.

    I fear you mistunderstood. The OP is talking about the threads that screw into the salt cell.

    If there is enough room on either side of the cell, couldn't you just install two standard unions, one on each side? That would allow you to open the line at the (new) outer unions and remove the cell with it's unions and all, and replace the whole assembly with a pipe.

    Never dealt with salt syatems but if you just shut the system down I would think the water chemistry wouldn't be affected. Therefore why bother removing the cell?
