Best place to find plumbing (SF)

[SFreefer]

I'm looking for a lot of plumbing parts (1.5" PVC schedule 26 and 40 parts, ball valves etc...)

I have checked Center Hardware, who usually has a decent plumbing section but no thin wall or 1.5" ball valves in slip fitting. Does anyone have any suggestions?

TIA

Yeah, Center Hardware is geared for more commercial plumbing supplies. OSH will have thin wall plumbing - at least for .75" and 1" plumbing.

Did you want to use the ball valve on a return or drain line - gate valves are bigger but easier to turn.

I've found the home depot in Daly City has everything you could need


303 E Lake Merced Blvd

Actually, I believe the HD you are referring to is the new one in the Westlake shopping mall vs. the one in Colma. The one at Westlake has a limited selection compared to the one in Colma.

urban farmer do have a great selection but pricey
if your not in a hurry i suggest mail order from savko.com

Thanks for the suggestions. I have never been able to find the valves at Home Depot but I haven't looked there in a while. I know they didn't have any thin wall the last time I checked.

Ball valve is for drain BTW.

Urban farmer is a good oen for odd bulkheads and such.. U save plumbing on Lawton in the low 20th avenues is also a good place.. Its just down the block from lawton playground..

Ok, I went to Urban Farmer. Awesome stuff, VERY expensive. Ended up getting mnost of what I needed at Home Depot actually. Their plumbing section is better than it used to be.

New problem: My Dolphin Pump seems to have lost it o-rings for it's fittings. I know I can get them online but I'm trying to wrap this thing up. I have tried all the stores for o-rings and it appears the 2" ID 1/8" o-ring is rare in this City.

You may also want to try Harbor Freight (online) for an assorted pack of O-rings.
