Installation Notes
Cut the 3″ PVC pipe square, deburr the edge and clean both pipe and elbow hub with PVC primer and glue per manufacturer instructions. Insert the pipe fully into each hub socket and hold for 10–30 seconds until initial set. After installation, allow glue to cure per the solvent-cement manufacturer instructions before pressurizing or operating the system.
Maintenance Tip
During routine pool plumbing inspections, verify the elbow joint for signs of leakage, cracking or discoloration. Replace the fitting if pipe misalignment or stress on the joint is causing fatigue. Keeping fittings properly deburred and aligned at installation minimizes future joint stress and helps extend service life.
