American Granby SCH 40 PVC 45° Elbow Slip x Slip 2"

In higher-flow pool plumbing, not every directional change should be a hard 90-degree turn. Gradual transitions reduce turbulence, improve alignment, and place less stress on glued joints—especially on main circulation lines. The American Granby Schedule 40 2” PVC 45-Degree Elbow (Slip x Slip) is engineered to provide a smooth change in direction while maintaining the strength and pressure rating required for pool and spa systems.

This fitting is widely used by pool builders and service professionals on suction lines, return lines, equipment pads, and underground plumbing runs where flow efficiency and long-term reliability matter. Manufactured specifically for pool environments, it delivers consistent dimensions, proper pressure handling, and resistance to chemicals and outdoor exposure.

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

Why 45° Elbows Are Preferred in 2” Pool Plumbing

Two-inch plumbing is typically used in higher-flow areas of a pool system. Using gradual directional changes helps maintain efficient water movement and reduces unnecessary stress on pumps and fittings.

The American Granby 2” PVC 45-degree elbow is used to:

• Create smoother directional transitions

• Improve alignment on equipment pads

• Reduce stress on solvent-weld joints

• Support efficient underground plumbing layouts

In many installations, two 45-degree elbows are preferred over a single 90-degree elbow for cleaner routing and better hydraulic performance.

Slip x Slip Connections for Permanent Installations

This fitting features Slip x Slip (socket x socket) connections, allowing 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 cemented, the elbow becomes a fixed part of the plumbing system, suitable for both exposed equipment pads 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 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.

Common Pool & Spa Applications

The American Granby SCH 40 2” PVC 45° Elbow is commonly used for:

• Pool suction and return line routing

• Equipment pad plumbing layouts

• Filter, heater, and chlorinator connections

• Underground plumbing repairs

• New pool construction and replumbing projects

Anywhere a gradual directional change is required in 2” pool plumbing, this fitting is the correct solution.

• Accurate dimensions for proper pipe fit

• Strong solvent-weld connections

This elbow is a standard component in professional pool plumbing installations.
