1 1/2 inch gate valve - where do ya get them? I check my local Loews and HD and could not find any PVC gate valves. Any ideas for the St. Pete area?
 
I saw a bunch at HD the other day, not sure if they were 1.5"

I am headed to one at lunch I will look again.
 
Hmm my HD did not have them. I will have to check a few others today then. I need a way to build the presure in my Skimmer.
 
I looked all over and never found a GATE valve locally. got mine from aquatic Eco.

:eek1: $6 for a 1 1/2" gate valve??:eek1: REALLY!!
 
I have not been able to find any gate valves that did not have exposed metal inside.
I asked Aquatic Eco-Systems about theirs, and they wrote me back and said, “They have a steel rod actuator. The rod will rust.”
Has anyone had a problem with this?
 
I called them and they do not have any in stock right now and could not recommend any place locally to get them either.
 
Oh sorry o2zen did you call Aquatic Eco-Systems or sisco? Sisco is the only place I know to get good plumbing parts locally.
 
i bought a pair of 1.5" gate valves a couple days ago at Ace Hardware...they were ~15 ea
 
See all the great info this group has, and keeps it all to them sleves, until poked and prodded and begged for a little nugget of info :-)

It is nice to know that there is a local place to get good plumbing parts.

One thing I have never understood... why do the LFSs not stock plumbing parts?
 
It's funny that you mentioned keeping things to our selves. Checkinhawk and I have always mentioned his place of work as a sources to get parts - they might kick us off RC - thinking we have stock in the company or something - LOL.

IMO - the LFS has enough problems having room for fish stuff and now try to compete with ACE, Sisco etc. They do carry bulkheads - try finding that at your local HD or lowes - LOL - NOT.
