Where can I find metric plumbing parts?

[m0nkie]

I need a few pipes and 90 elbows for my Cadlights tank plumbing... but it's in metric. Nothing in home depot fits.

Anyone know where I can find metric parts? Home Depot 1.5 inch 90 Elbow is a little too small. The metric one is almost 2" but not quite..

so far I'm using a dremel to shave down the US sized PVC.. using tons of glue to hold it together. Feels sturdy, but I'm not sure if this is ideal for the long run

Drill it bigger and use standard size bulkheads. Those metric ones that come with the tank are pretty crappy.

drilling is my last last option. can't move the tank really.

thanks guys... I read that thread earlier.. hate this stupid metric/american size difference.. its always an issue.. cars, tanks, everything..

here is my ghetto dremel fix.. I really don't want to drill the glass or change everything again.. I'll see how long this lasts

google: "flexpvc[dot]com metric" They have a bunch of adapters that you can use to change metric to standard.
