American Granby SCH 40 PVC Street Sweep Elbow 1½"

In 2-inch pool plumbing, every turn impacts flow, pressure, and long-term equipment performance. Tight-radius elbows and unnecessary couplings create turbulence and head loss that force pumps to work harder than necessary. The American Granby Schedule 40 2” PVC Sweep Elbow (Slip x Spigot) is designed to eliminate those issues by combining a smooth, long-radius 90-degree sweep with a street-style spigot end for cleaner, more efficient plumbing layouts.

This fitting is widely used by pool service professionals and builders when space is limited or when a direct glue-in connection is needed without adding extra fittings. By reducing turbulence and minimizing the number of joints, this sweep elbow improves circulation efficiency and reduces potential leak points.

Built specifically for pool and spa plumbing systems, this is not a generic plumbing fitting—it is engineered for continuous water flow, chemical exposure, and real-world pool equipment demands.

Why Sweep + Street Fittings Are Preferred in 2” Pool Plumbing

Standard tight 90-degree elbows restrict flow, and additional couplings add friction and more opportunities for leaks. In 2” plumbing, these issues become even more noticeable.

The American Granby 2” sweep elbow SL x SPG provides two key advantages:

• A sweep radius that reduces head loss and maintains smoother water flow

• A spigot (street) end that glues directly into another fitting, eliminating the need for an extra coupling

This makes it an ideal solution for equipment pads, retrofits, and tight plumbing configurations.

Slip x Spigot Configuration Explained

This fitting features:

• Slip (socket) end that accepts 2” Schedule 40 PVC pipe

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

The spigot end functions like a piece of pipe, allowing the elbow to glue directly into valves, tees, or couplings. This reduces overall plumbing length, simplifies installation, and improves hydraulic efficiency.

For pool professionals, this often results in:

• Cleaner plumbing layouts

• Fewer glue joints

• Reduced leak risk

• Easier alignment in confined spaces

Schedule 40 PVC Built for Pool Environments

Manufactured 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:

• Chlorinated and chemically treated water

• Temperature fluctuations

• Cracking and deformation under pressure

• Long-term wear in buried or exposed installations

This ensures dependable performance over the life of the pool system.

Common Pool & Spa Applications

The American Granby SCH 40 2” PVC Sweep Elbow SL x SPG is commonly used for:

• Equipment pad plumbing

• Pump suction and discharge lines

• Filter, heater, and chlorinator connections

• Return line plumbing

• Retrofit repairs where space is limited

• Underground pool plumbing installations

Anywhere a smooth 90-degree turn with a compact connection is required, this fitting is the correct choice.

Trusted by Pool Service Professionals

Pool service technicians rely on sweep street elbows because they reduce callbacks and improve long-term system performance. Fewer fittings mean fewer potential failure points, while smoother flow improves circulation efficiency and reduces pump strain.

This fitting is especially useful in:

• Tight equipment pads

• Variable-speed pump installations

• Energy-efficiency upgrades

• Plumbing repairs and retrofits

Choosing sweep fittings is a small decision that delivers measurable performance benefits.

Specifications

Installation Notes

• Designed for use with 2” Schedule 40 PVC pipe

• Spigot end glues directly into another fitting’s socket

• Use approved PVC primer and cement for pool plumbing

• Allow full cure time before pressurizing the system

• Dry-fit before cementing to confirm alignment

Proper installation ensures smooth flow and long-term leak-free performance.
