Union ball valve locally?

[Tschupe]

Anybody know where I can get one in town before I order online?

I got mine at lowes

I checked Home Depot and they didn't have them so I figured lowes didn't either. Thanks I'll go check after work.

I don't think you'll find true unions at the big box stores.

Have you seen them somewhere?

Picked this style up at Lowes last weekend. My local store has them up to 2" on the shelf.

I also found them at Lowes. They should have them. Not sure why Home Depot wouldn't.

I would pay a little more and get the sch. 80 (gray). It just seem/feel more solid.

I had problems turning the ball valve on the white ones after a short while, but never had a problem with the sch. 80 in 5+ years of use.

Most fish stores can order them for you, but its almost twice the cost of the white one.. good thing its only a one time cost

I have used the white ones like in the photo from HD for years without any problems, the only thing I don't like about them they can be hard to turn.

I think Ace Hardware might actually have the schedule 80s. I can't swear to it, but I thought I saw them the last time I stopped in for some plumbing stuff. I don't go to Ace very often, but they have a good selection (just a little pricier)

Never understood why people use schedule 80. I understand over kill on somethings but schedule 40 is perfectly fine.

Thanks ace is on my way home. I'll check there and lowes.

Lowes, ferguson supply, any real plumbing supply store will have them. Big box hardware stores typically won't.

Ace didn't have any. Lowes had 1.5 and 2" ones but that's to big for me. Double checked Home Depot and they didn't have them. Didn't want to order online and have to wait. Might have to.

I know Aquarium Arts and AZ Shark Reef have some schdule 80 fittings so you might call them up.

 

[Tschupe]

Yeah think I'll start calling around. Thanks

Some sch40 parts are cheaply made and get brittle over time.

I get mine from zoro tools.

Ferguson supply will have what you need
