Where is the best price on true union ball valves?

Man, these things are spendy. Anyone know where to get some at a good price?

I've always bought mine from savko.com. They're really good valves...easy to open/close.

Ditto on savko. Very fast service and great prices. Just bought two of the true union ball valves. They also have black pvc and fittings which is nice to hide your plumbing (my tank has a black painted on background). They also have clear stuff as well.

Thanks. I looked at savko and they do have the best prices I've seen.

They also have the better valve. They are well worth the money.

Have to ditto Savko. I spent about $400 on their true union ball valves, but they can't be beat. Open/close very easily, unlike the cheapies for HD/Lowes.

I remember when I just used a union and a cheap ball valve instead, and that was a mistake. After about six months on my tank, I literally had to get a giant wrench just to turn the handle all the way closed to disconnect my pump. (And I practically broke the handle in the process.)

I'm still cheap with a lot of stuff, but for this, I think I'll spend the $$$ and get the good stuff.

I hear ya. HD ballvalves take super gorilla strength to wrench open.
