45 Degree Extended Twist-Lock Elbow for Pool Cleaner
Product Overview
A reliable factory-spec elbow engineered to relieve suction hose tension at dedicated suction ports and skimmer inlets.
In our experience, suction cleaner hose binds often stem from standard straight connectors jamming against the skimmer collar. This 45-degree extended twist-lock elbow provides the proper clearance angle for Zodiac MX6, MX8, TR2D, T3, T5 Duo, and X7 Quattro cleaners, ensuring consistent water draw without pulling air or pinching hose segments.

When To Use This
Pro Tip
Never force or over-torque the twist-lock collar when seating into an older skimmer adapter; a light application of pool-grade silicone lubricant on mating surfaces prevents binding and plastic fatigue in high-calcium water.
