American Granby SCH 40 PVC Sweep Elbow 2"

Proper water distribution is critical in pool plumbing, especially when splitting flow between multiple lines or returning water evenly to the pool. The American Granby Schedule 40 1 1/2” PVC Tee (Slip x Slip x Slip) is a core plumbing fitting designed to join three sections of pipe at 90-degree angles, allowing clean, controlled flow branching in pool and spa systems.

This tee is a standard, professional-grade pool plumbing component, commonly used by pool builders and service technicians for return manifolds, equipment pad layouts, and circulation splits. Manufactured specifically for pool and spa environments, it is built to handle continuous water flow, chemical exposure, and operating pressures common to residential and light commercial pool systems.

This is not a general-purpose plumbing tee—it is designed for the demands of pool circulation systems.

Why PVC Tees Are Essential in Pool Plumbing

Pool plumbing systems frequently require controlled flow splits to feed multiple returns, features, or pieces of equipment. A properly sized tee ensures balanced distribution while maintaining system integrity.

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

• Split return lines evenly

• Tie auxiliary plumbing into main circulation lines

• Create clean equipment pad layouts

• Support efficient water distribution throughout the system

Using a properly manufactured Schedule 40 tee helps prevent leaks, flow restrictions, and premature plumbing failures.

Slip x Slip x Slip Connections for Permanent Plumbing

This fitting features Slip x Slip x Slip (socket) connections on all three ports, allowing 1 1/2” Schedule 40 PVC pipe to be solvent-welded directly into each opening.

Slip connections provide:

• Strong, permanent joints

• Smooth internal flow paths

• Reliable, leak-resistant performance when installed correctly

Once solvent-welded, the tee becomes a solid part of the plumbing system, making it ideal for underground installations and permanent equipment pad plumbing.

Schedule 40 PVC Built for Pool & Spa Systems

Manufactured from rigid Schedule 40 PVC, this tee is rated for the pressures typically found in 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 wear in buried or exposed applications

This ensures dependable performance season after season.
