American Granby SCH 40 PVC 45° Elbow Slip x Slip 1"

Not every plumbing layout calls for a hard 90-degree turn. In many pool systems, smoother directional changes reduce stress on fittings, improve alignment, and create cleaner, more serviceable equipment pads. The American Granby Schedule 40 1” PVC 45-Degree Elbow (Slip x Slip) is designed to provide a gradual, controlled change in direction for 1” pool and spa plumbing applications.

This fitting is commonly used by pool service professionals and builders for chemical feed lines, automation plumbing, heater bypass circuits, booster pump lines, and auxiliary circulation runs. Manufactured specifically for pool and spa environments, it offers the correct pressure rating, dimensional accuracy, and chemical resistance required for long-term performance.

This is not a general plumbing fitting—it is purpose-built for pool plumbing systems.

Why 45° Elbows Are Used in Pool Plumbing

A 45-degree elbow allows water to change direction more gradually than a 90-degree elbow. This can reduce turbulence, improve alignment, and lower stress on glue joints—especially in smaller-diameter plumbing.

The American Granby 1” PVC 45-degree elbow is used to:

• Create smoother plumbing transitions

• Reduce strain on fittings and joints

• Improve routing around equipment

• Build cleaner, more professional plumbing layouts

In many installations, two 45-degree elbows are preferred over a single 90-degree elbow for better flow and alignment.

Slip x Slip Connections for Permanent Installations

This fitting features Slip x Slip (socket x socket) connections, allowing 1” 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 and is suitable for both exposed and underground installations.

Schedule 40 PVC Built for Pool & Spa Systems

Manufactured from rigid Schedule 40 PVC, this 45-degree elbow is pressure-rated for residential and light commercial pool systems. It is fully compatible with standard 1” 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 over the life of the pool system.

Common Pool & Spa Applications

The American Granby SCH 40 1” PVC 45° Elbow is commonly used for:

• Chemical feeder plumbing

• Automation and control systems

• Heater bypass plumbing

• Booster pump lines

• Repair and retrofit work

Anywhere a gradual directional change is needed in 1” pool plumbing, this fitting is the correct solution.
