American Granby SCH 40 PVC Street Elbow 1½"

When space is tight and plumbing efficiency matters, standard elbows and extra couplings can quickly create clutter, flow restriction, and unnecessary leak points. The American Granby Schedule 40 1 1/2” PVC Street Elbow (Spigot x Slip) is designed to solve that problem by allowing a direct glue-in connection while still providing a precise 90-degree change in direction.

This street-style elbow is a go-to fitting for pool service professionals and builders who want cleaner equipment pad layouts, fewer glue joints, and more efficient plumbing runs. Built specifically for pool and spa circulation systems, it delivers the durability, pressure rating, and chemical resistance required for long-term reliability.

This is not a general plumbing fitting—it is engineered for real-world pool plumbing conditions.

Why Street Elbows Are Used in Pool Plumbing

In pool systems, every extra fitting adds resistance, cost, and a potential failure point. Street elbows eliminate the need for an additional coupling by allowing one end of the elbow to glue directly into another fitting.

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

• Reduce the number of glue joints

• Simplify tight equipment pad layouts

• Improve flow efficiency by shortening plumbing runs

• Create cleaner, more professional installations

For service work and retrofits, street elbows often make the difference between an awkward repair and a clean, long-lasting solution.

Spigot x Slip Configuration Explained

This fitting features:

• Spigot (SP) end: inserts directly into the socket of another PVC fitting

• Slip (SL) end: accepts standard 1 1/2” Schedule 40 PVC pipe

The spigot end functions like a short piece of pipe, allowing the elbow to glue directly into valves, tees, unions, or couplings. This reduces overall plumbing length and eliminates the need for an extra connector.

For pool professionals, this means:

• Fewer fittings

• Less friction loss

• Faster, cleaner installations

• Reduced leak potential

Schedule 40 PVC Built for Pool & Spa Systems

Manufactured from rigid Schedule 40 PVC, this street 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 exposure in outdoor and underground installations

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