American Granby SCH 40 1 1/2" PVC 90° Elbow SL x SL

Clean, accurate directional changes are a core requirement in pool plumbing, especially on primary circulation and return lines. The American Granby Schedule 40 1 1/2” PVC 90-Degree Elbow (Slip x Slip) is a professional-grade fitting designed to create a precise 90-degree turn while maintaining strength, alignment, and long-term reliability in pool and spa systems.

This elbow is one of the most commonly used fittings in residential and light commercial pool plumbing. It is trusted by pool builders and service technicians for equipment pad layouts, return lines, suction plumbing, and underground installations where dependable solvent-weld joints are critical.

This is not a general plumbing elbow. It is engineered specifically for pool circulation systems, where constant water flow, chemical exposure, and pressure demand consistent, high-quality fittings.

Why 1 1/2” PVC Elbows Are Critical in Pool Plumbing

1 1/2” PVC is a standard pipe size used throughout pool systems for both suction and return plumbing. Directional changes must be made cleanly to avoid misalignment, leaks, or unnecessary stress on connected equipment.

The American Granby 1 1/2” PVC 90-degree elbow is used to:

• Change direction on main circulation lines

• Route plumbing cleanly around equipment pads

• Connect filters, heaters, and chlorinators

• Maintain proper alignment in underground plumbing runs

Using a properly sized, Schedule 40 elbow ensures structural integrity and consistent flow through the system.

Slip x Slip Connections for Permanent Pool Installations

This fitting features Slip x Slip (socket x socket) connections, allowing 1 1/2” Schedule 40 PVC pipe to be solvent-welded directly into both ends of the elbow.

Slip connections provide:

• Strong, permanent joints

• Smooth internal flow paths

• Reliable, leak-resistant performance when installed correctly

Once solvent-welded, the elbow becomes a fixed part of the plumbing system, suitable for both buried and exposed installations.

Schedule 40 PVC Built for Pool & Spa Systems

Manufactured from rigid Schedule 40 PVC, this elbow is pressure-rated for residential and light commercial pool systems. It is fully compatible with standard 1 1/2” Schedule 40 PVC pipe used throughout pool plumbing.

The material resists:

• Chlorinated and chemically treated water

• Temperature fluctuations

• Cracking and deformation under pressure

• Long-term outdoor and underground exposure

This ensures dependable performance throughout the life of the pool system.

The American Granby SCH 40 1 1/2” PVC 90° Elbow is commonly used for:
