That classic royal exclusiv plumbing color combo

[spscrackhead]

Its time to plumb the system and I would like to match that bk skimmer in the sump. I am having a bit of an issue finding some nice white union ball valves and gate valves. I am sure someone here has plumbed up their system in this color scheme and can help me out.
Greatly appreaciated guys!

Amazon has some. Here is one I used in the past.

Aquarium Specialty has lots of colored PVC Parts. I know Biotek Marine makes White PVC Single Union Ball Valves.

I looked into this before and couldn't find any dual unions in white for a reasonable price. Hayward makes them but for 1" they are $70, for 1.5" they are $120 each.

What I did was use the standard Gray True Union Ball Valves. White / Red / Gray works great together IMO and in my situation going with white dual unions would have cost a fortune!

You could always just use regular ball valves then put on union on each end, this would work and would cost ~$15 for a 1" ball valve and 2 x white 1" unions.

Are there any quality non union ball valves though?

To be honest with you I've never used any on my aquarium plumbing. I've use them before but not on anything that needs to be adjusted more then a few times.
