It turns a pipe run through 90 degrees on a long radius rather than a sharp corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the radius matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery turn in a pipe costs the pump something. A standard elbow makes water change direction abruptly and the turbulence that follows shows up as head loss, which the pump has to work against for as long as the system runs. A sweep takes the same turn over a longer arc, so the water carries through with less disruption. On one fitting it is a small difference. On an equipment pad with several turns it is the sort of thing that shows on a power bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSlip by spigot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe slip end is a socket that accepts pipe. The spigot end is sized like pipe and goes into another fitting socket. That combination lets you go straight from this elbow into a valve, a union or another fitting without cutting a short nipple of pipe and adding a joint. Fewer joints means fewer places for a leak to start later. Both ends are solvent weld, so assembly is primer and cement as usual.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dura Plastics Products, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634423345364,"sku":"DURA-409-015SW","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_0f48e61c-f62f-46d9-8b52-48928078fb15.jpg?v=1788830349","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/dura-plastics-409-015sw-1-1-2-inch-sweep-ell-slip-x-spg","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
