SS Union fitting, that doesn't come in > 1 piece?

Just wondering if an SS Union fitting, that doesn't come in > 1 piece exists?

For example at https://www.anfractuosity.com/wp-conten ... G_2412.jpg you can see I've used 2 unions to join
the pipes together.

But, because they have two pieces I think that's making things a lot harder for me to tighten the pipes etc.

I have seen that type of fitting, but the issue I would have is it's cylindrical, so harder to tighten, but I guess not impossible. I was wondering if there is a hex (?) style one piece thing, but at a push I could probably use that.

you dont need to tighten it if you grip the tee pieces and turn them
