Where is the best place local or online to buy bulkheads, fittings locline, eductors etc.?
 
if you want eductors, then the place to get them is aquariumspecialty.com
you can also get loc-line there.
All else I have been able to find at HD. Any online place has bulkheads. I personally prefer threaded on both sides.
 
Xian,

I bought an eductor from Michael which I can not use - I think it is a 1". If interested, will sell for same price I bought it for
 
i used Customaauatic.com in CA, little exp., but always so helpful and have a huge selection, Really big to really small, all the nuts and bolts so to speak..


peace

Locally, Lowes tends to have a better fitting selection than Depot, and they have those cool union-ball-valve-all-in-one things. :)

I don't know what the best place online is, but I know that savko has a lot of good stuff that is hard to find. I've gotten loc-line fittings and flex-pvc (the good stuff - not the garbage ribbed pool tubing) from them.
 
Vin I could use a consultation on what I'm going to need to plumb this thing. If you've got some time in the coming weeks.
 
Sure Matt, I will make some time. If you want to come over for a reminder of how I did my plumbing, you can do that too.

Got my bulkheads at Aquacave. Ordered them las Monday waiting to see the product. (best price I found)
http://www.Aquacave.com/Plumbing.aspx

I would NEVER do business with Aquacave ever again. They are sneaky, misrepresent the item and they flat out lie. Customer service sucks and did I mention they lie?

As far as bulkheads I have never seen them at Lowes or HD but I bought some VERY nice heavy duty ones at a local sprinkler supply store. Online I bought some stuff at Savco and even though they were a little spendy they have a great selection, came thru with the right products relatively fast and have decent customer service.

Actually the price on Locline was the best price I found at Savco so maybe that statement I made needs to be qualified. SOME things they are a little spendy on.

Did I mention I would NEVER do business with Aquacave ever again?
 
Cuby2k - sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Aquacave. I'd only ordered twice from them and it's been good.
But like some places, everything is OK until the day you have a problem.
 
I will vote a second time for savko. I think its a family business or something, I always talk to the same guy when I call in. Once they sent a wrong fitting, and I called and they mailed out a correct one right away.

The loc line is also a very good price.
 
I'm a huge fan of aquaticeco, but on things I can find other places, a lot of times it is cheaper. That said, everyone should have one of their catalogs as well as one from US plastics. Both places have stuff that is hard to find other places. For instance, aquatic eco is one of the few places you can buy acrylic tube by the foot for diy projects.

Which eductor did you say fit on the 3/4 inch locline? Was it the 3/4" or the 1"
