Installation & Compatibility Notes
Ensure the pipe ends are cut square, deburred and cleaned. Dry-fit the elbow first to confirm alignment and direction change. Apply PVC primer and cement to both the spigot and socket ends per manufacturer instructions, insert the spigot into the socket, hold alignment until the cement sets. After curing, restore system flow and inspect around the joint for proper seal and alignment.

- If you notice reduced flow, vibration or leaks at the elbow joint, consider replacement as part of routine service maintenance.
