Lasco ACME 1-1/2" Street Elbow - 72300002

This Street Elbow features a "spigot by ACME thread" configuration, allowing it to be inserted directly into another socket fitting to save space and reduce the number of components in a layout. The ACME square-thread design is specifically engineered for easy assembly and extreme resistance to cross-threading or vibrating loose under the high-velocity flow of industrial pump stations.

Constructed from heavy-duty PVC, this fitting is immune to the electrolytic corrosion and mineral scaling that plague galvanized or brass alternatives. Its smooth interior walls ensure a high Hazen-Williams C-factor, maintaining maximum water pressure from the pump to the rotor.

Industries

The unique ACME thread makes this fitting a staple in specific high-performance sectors:

• Golf Course Maintenance: The primary standard for connecting swing joints to mainlines and rotors.

• Commercial Turf Irrigation: Used in sports complexes and parks where high-volume, high-pressure water delivery is required.

• Industrial Pump Stations: Ideal for manifold assemblies where space is limited and vibration resistance is mandatory.

• Agricultural Irrigation: Used in large-scale nursery and orchard filtration systems.

One of the most trusted versions of this component is the Lasco 1-1/2" ACME Street Elbow, known for its rugged construction and precision threading.
