Hayward FLANGED ELBOW ASSY

The Hayward Flanged Elbow Assembly is a specialized plumbing component engineered to provide a robust, leak-proof transition for water flow within high-pressure filtration systems, such as the Perflex D.E. filter series. Manufactured from high-impact, glass-reinforced thermoplastic, this assembly is designed to handle the hydraulic turbulence and mechanical stresses associated with pool water circulation. Its primary mechanical function is to connect the external plumbing to the filter tank at a precise $90$-degree angle, utilizing a flanged mounting base that distributes clamping pressure evenly to prevent stress fractures on the tank wall. The assembly typically incorporates a dedicated O-ring or gasket seal and is secured with a heavy-duty nut or bolt kit, ensuring an airtight connection that prevents suction leaks or water loss. Its internal bore is precision-molded to minimize flow restriction, which helps maintain the overall energy efficiency of the pump system while resisting the corrosive effects of pool chemicals and UV exposure. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the Hayward Flanged Elbow Assembly is approximately 1.1 pounds in its retail protective packaging, while the actual dry weight of the individual molded component is roughly 0.78 pounds.
