Black PVC Elbows?

[jnarowe]

So I am trying to source Black PVC Elbows, 1", FMPT x Slip...I am installing black Penductors, and can get black PVC Pipe, but I just can't seem to locate the elbows.

Anyone know where to get them?

Did you try Mclendons? FYI they recently doubled the size of their JG selection and brought back all their oring and rubber seal material.

bigdaddyTank: Thanks for the link. I had seen their list already and did not find a Black 1" Slip x FMPT Elbow. Do you see one there?

Perhaps a lttle explanation of what I am trying to accomplish may bring out some suggestion I haven't thought of already.

What I have is 1" BHs in the front corners of my tank and short risers with 1" Slip x Slip elbows for part of my return system. I am trying to install longer risers to increas the height, an elbow, and a Penductor, all 1". The Penductor is 1" MPT. I would rather do this without an adapter between the pipe and a FMPT x FMPT elbow if I can, just to keep it simpler and hopefully less restrictive.

Does anyone have an idea for that, or is the concensus to give up and use an adapter?

I just checked out the web site. I can give them a call and see if they have it in stock. It's too far for me to just drop by.

Sorry didnt see it listed but you could call them and ask, a buddy of mine needed some black PVC fittings for his pond and they looked and were able to find them for him.
Alternative would be to find them in white and paint them with Krylon fusion.

Problem solved! Marvin @ SAVKO said he would get them in for me, so I can get the pipe and fittings from one source.

Thanks for all your help guys!

Now I just have to check out all the other little projects I have planned and see what else I need.
