The plastic elbow is a structural part of the Astral 00599 six-way valve that routes water from the lower port of the valve into the piping system. A cracked or broken elbow causes water leakage and puts the filtration out of operation.
The genuine spare part ensures a perfect fit and a tight joint without the need for improvisation. The material is resistant to pool chemistry and the working pressure of the filtration.
Replacement of the elbow is relatively simple: release the elbow from the valve, fit the new one and tighten. We recommend checking the condition of the seal at the joint during replacement.
