Slow Elbow 1-1/2

A slow elbow, also known as a swept elbow, is a PVC fitting that allows for a gradual change in direction of a pipe. Unlike a standard 90-degree elbow, it features a long, curved radius, making the turn smoother and less prone to clogging. This design is particularly beneficial in drain and waste systems, where the gradual bend allows for better flow and easier cleaning of debris.Slow elbows are commonly used in DWV (drain, waste, and vent) systems to ensure proper drainage and prevent clogs. They can be used in other plumbing applications where a smooth and gradual bend is desired. They can also be used in irrigation systems to allow for changes in direction without restricting flow.
