Does anyone know of a local place that carry pvc hosebarb fittings? HD does not have any.

Thanks!

OSH.

Lowes and ACE also carry them.

I found that OSH carries the best selection in the sizes we typically use in terms of typical home improvement stores. Lowes' and other large warehouse stores seem to only carry a limited selection and mostly geared toward 3/8" or smaller for your typical water hoses for refrigerators, etc.

There is a sprinkler repair store off of Manzanita where it dead ends into Fair Oaks (Rain Bird) that sells all kinds of SCH 40/80 plumbing pieces and the barbs. Trust me, I went on an endless search for barbs one day - actually it took 2 days , and these guys had it all in the sizes I needed. Save yourself some time and stop by there.

I appreciate the replies.

I actually went to OSH (by Arden) before I had a chance to read any of the replies. They had some fittings but not the size that I need. I could not wait so I jerry rigged some of the fittings and hopefully it works.

I have all of my corals in the garage while I'm doing my upgrade so I need to hurry up before I lose all my corals to heat. It seems like the first one to go is my PPE frag. Crap, I baby sat this frag for 2 months before it even opened up. Now, I'm just goin to lose this critter to heat.

I'm just not smart enough for this hobby or I would have gotten a chiller before the upgrade.

Thanks again for the replies!

Thats surprising, HD had them here around the sink plumbing parts and the flexible plastic tubing.
