Found a great source for plumbing fittings that has a unique variety that looks like it will be suitable for our aquariums...

I kinda like the 'Thru-Hull fittings' they have.. especially the one with the strainers...

hhow about these types of builkheads with a diffuser to 'soften' the jet of water? or for an overflow?

check out the selection? not the greatest prices but then again, i have seen worst...


how about these check valves, (I usually dont like check valves( but for thoser that do...

http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wc...toreNum=10111&subdeptNum=10636&classNum=10639


They have other valves but not sure if they are stainless steel or not...

the couple i have seen personally had no 'resistance' to keep the valve open like the other check valves we are used to...


http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wc...toreNum=10111&subdeptNum=10636&classNum=10639

Im guessing they all have stainless steel or other non corrosive metals as they are designed to work in saltwater and not fail...


http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wc...toreNum=10111&subdeptNum=10636&classNum=10639

those look perfect... just glue them inline with a pvc coupling... but again, not sure if they have non corroding materials...(or leaching)

Problem with West Marine is they won't have much of that in stock so it would have to be ordered from the catalog or drop shipped on a truck to the store.

I worked there for a while years ago.

oh, they have squat in stock. and the folks that work there are worst then the folks at home depot as for knowledgable

 

[letsgofishin]

oh, sorry, didnt mean to imply anything about you when you worked there, but then again, there is a reason you dont work there, right???

I found this place a couple weeks ago:

DDC Plumbing Supply
2318 N Rosemead Blvd.
S El Monte, 91733

I was looking for a sch80 Street 45 Slip x Spigot fitting that BRS didn't have in stock. I tried calling many, MANY places in SoCal, including Hirsch and online stores but no luck at all. I was driving down Rosemead and saw this place. I stopped and to my surprise, they did have the same one, but in sch40. I asked for other uncommon fittings, which they had, too! Cheap prices, too! Now I have three local sources, Hirsch in ELA, Battel's in Whittier and this place. Screw Home Depot. Most associates are a joke! And, I don't know about the avory colored sch40 PVC pipes they have in stock!

Ivory=CPVC, not the same stuff that you normally use.

what are you looking for, I work at a plumbing supply house
if you want pipe and fittings go to smardan supply in gardena or elmonte. ewing irrigation has a pretty big stock they do alot of pvc. For bulkheads and stuff just go to your lfs your not going to save much by shopping around unless your buying boxes.
