American Granby SCH 40 PVC Coupling Slip x Slip 1½"

Straight-line connections are a core component of any reliable pool plumbing system, especially on primary circulation and return lines. The American Granby Schedule 40 1 1/2” PVC Coupling (Slip x Slip) is a professional-grade fitting designed to permanently join two sections of 1 1/2” PVC pipe into a single, continuous run.

This coupling is widely used in pool and spa plumbing systems for repairs, extensions, and new installations where 1 1/2” pipe is specified. It is commonly found on suction lines, return plumbing, equipment pad layouts, and underground piping. Manufactured specifically for pool environments, it delivers consistent fit, pressure reliability, and long-term resistance to pool chemicals and outdoor exposure.

This is not a general plumbing fitting—it is built for real pool circulation systems.

Why 1 1/2” PVC Couplings Matter in Pool Plumbing

1 1/2” PVC is one of the most common pipe sizes used in residential pool systems. Any joint failure at this size can compromise circulation, cause leaks, and require costly repairs.

The American Granby 1 1/2” PVC coupling is used to:

• Join two straight sections of 1 1/2” PVC pipe

• Repair cracked, cut, or damaged plumbing

• Extend existing suction or return lines

• Maintain proper alignment on equipment pads

Using a true Schedule 40 coupling ensures consistent internal diameter and dependable long-term performance.

Slip x Slip Connections for Permanent Installations

This fitting features Slip x Slip (socket x socket) connections, allowing both pipe ends to be solvent-welded directly into the coupling.

Slip connections provide:

• Strong, permanent joints

• Smooth internal flow continuity

• Reliable, leak-resistant performance when installed correctly

Once cemented, the coupling becomes a fixed part of the plumbing system, suitable for exposed and underground installations.
