American Granby SCH 40 PVC Long Sweep Elbow 2"

In high-flow pool plumbing, the way water turns matters. Tight-radius elbows create turbulence, increase head pressure, and force pumps to work harder than necessary. The American Granby Schedule 40 2” PVC Sweep Elbow (Slip x Slip) is designed to eliminate those problems by providing a smooth, long-radius 90-degree turn that preserves flow efficiency and protects pool equipment.

This fitting is widely used by pool builders and service professionals when plumbing main circulation lines, equipment pads, and return manifolds. By reducing hydraulic resistance, it helps maintain proper flow rates, improves system efficiency, and extends the life of pumps, filters, heaters, and salt systems.

Manufactured specifically for pool and spa plumbing applications, this is not a generic plumbing fitting—it is engineered to handle continuous water flow, chemical exposure, and the operating pressures found in modern pool systems.

Why Sweep Elbows Are Critical in 2” Pool Plumbing

Two-inch plumbing is typically used in higher-flow sections of a pool system. In these applications, standard tight 90-degree elbows can significantly restrict flow and increase head loss.

The American Granby 2” PVC sweep elbow uses a gradual curve that:

• Reduces turbulence inside the pipe

• Maintains higher flow efficiency

• Lowers strain on pumps and motors

• Improves heater and chlorinator performance

• Supports energy-efficient system designs

For variable-speed pump systems and modern high-efficiency pools, sweep fittings are the professional standard.

Slip x Slip Connections for Permanent Installations

This fitting features Slip x Slip (socket x socket) connections, allowing 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

• Leak-resistant performance when properly cemented

Once installed, the fitting becomes part of a continuous plumbing run, making it ideal for both above-ground equipment pads and underground installations.

Schedule 40 PVC Strength Built for Pool Environments

Constructed from rigid Schedule 40 PVC, this sweep elbow is rated for the pressure ranges commonly found in residential and light commercial pool systems. It is fully compatible with standard 2” Schedule 40 PVC pipe used throughout pool plumbing.

The material resists:

• Pool chemicals and chlorinated water

• Temperature changes

• Cracking and deformation under pressure

• Long-term wear in buried plumbing runs

This ensures dependable performance season after season.
