American Granby SCH 40 PVC Street Elbow 2½"

In high-flow pool plumbing, space efficiency and joint reduction become increasingly important. Large-diameter plumbing leaves less margin for unnecessary fittings, added friction, or awkward layouts. The American Granby Schedule 40 2 1/2” PVC Street Elbow (Spigot x Slip) is engineered to solve these challenges by providing a compact 90-degree directional change while eliminating the need for an extra coupling.

This street-style elbow allows one end to glue directly into another fitting, making it a preferred choice for high-performance residential pools, light commercial systems, and professional equipment pad installations. Manufactured specifically for pool and spa circulation systems, it delivers the pressure rating, dimensional accuracy, and chemical resistance required for long-term reliability.

This is not a generic plumbing elbow—it is purpose-built for demanding pool plumbing environments.

Why Street Elbows Matter in 2 1/2” Pool Plumbing

As pipe size increases, every additional fitting adds measurable friction and introduces another potential failure point. Street elbows reduce complexity by combining direction change and connection into a single fitting.

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

• Reduce the total number of glue joints

• Simplify large equipment pad layouts

• Shorten plumbing runs for improved hydraulic efficiency

• Create cleaner, more serviceable installations

For retrofits and space-limited installations, street elbows often provide the cleanest and most reliable solution.

Spigot x Slip Configuration Explained

This fitting features:

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

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

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

For pool professionals, this results in:

• Fewer fittings

• Lower friction loss

• Faster installations

• Reduced leak potential

Schedule 40 PVC Built for High-Flow Pool Systems

Manufactured from rigid Schedule 40 PVC, this street elbow is pressure-rated for residential and light commercial pool systems using larger plumbing sizes. It is fully compatible with standard 2 1/2” Schedule 40 PVC pipe commonly used in high-flow circulation designs.

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.

Common Pool & Spa Applications

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

• High-flow equipment pad plumbing

• Main circulation suction and discharge lines

• Pump, filter, and heater connections

• Plumbing repairs and retrofits

• Underground pool plumbing installations

Anywhere a compact 90-degree turn is required without adding unnecessary fittings, this street elbow is the correct solution.
