Where to buy PVC pipe, fittings, and valves?

[re76]

I am in the process of planning my basement mixing station. I am pretty sure I want to do it with 3/4" Schedule 80 fittings and pipe but I'm not sure where to find everything locally.

I haven't checked out the plumbing section of a Lowes or Home Depot recently but if memory serves me, they dealt mostly in Schedule 40.

Is there anywhere around here that sells Schedule 80 pipe and fittings for a reasonable price?

I was planning on using the Cepex ball valves that BRS sells. I managed to find them a lot cheaper from US Plastics. I might end up going this route to save some money. Shipping isn't free but I think it would still be cheaper.

Is anyone else looking to buy any valves or fittings? US Plastics has some pretty good price breaks if your order 10+ of some things. I would be willing to organize a group buy for valves, fitting, etc if there is enough interest. It looks like they also sell Schedule 80 pipe but they only ship it via freight.

I am out of town this weekend or else I would be at the meeting. Hope to make it to the next one.

I'm still haven't totally convinced myself yet that schedule 80 is worth it over schedule 40 pipe. I definitely think the schedule 80 Cepex valves are worth it from what I have read though.

Yep, I was planning on using schedule 40. But not completely decided.

See u in July, meeting is the club picnic at my place.

Welp... BRS is doing a 10% fathers day sale, which makes most of the valves and such almost the same price as what US Plastics is selling. With the BRS Reward points as well I think I'm just going to pull the trigger today.

What are the differences with the 3 models of cepex valves? US PLastics 1 1/2" prices range from E-qua @ $13.62, ST series @ $24.89, or Industrial grade @ $40ish depending on O-ring.

I'm not sure what the difference between the models are. The industrial grade is what BRS sells. It looks like they have self lubricating PTFE (Teflon) seats which I think account for how they don't bind like other ball valves, and are more expensive. The o rings will change price a bit, with Viton being more expensive. I'm pretty sure EPDM is suitable for our applications. Maybe someone with more knowledge in this domain could chime in.

Did that barrel have olives in it? I bought two barrels that were used to store Jalapenos and I'm struggling to get the smell out.

 

[fetta]

Yeah they had olives, I washed with clorox a couple times then white vinegar

Alright I will give that a try. So far I have used bleach and dish soap. Still smells like jalapenos.

Yep, I am going to have to get my counter top and sump set up soon , so that means getting all the plumbing parts, etc. - what are you using the ball valve for- I am planning on getting a gate valve for my siphon drain. Then 2 ball valves for both sides of the return pump ( external Iwaki or reeflo barracuda) so I can service/maintain the pump by just closing both ball valves and get minimum water spillage when I disconnect the pump.

I'm using the ball for my siphon. my sump will be under the stand so I won't need the fine tuning of a gate.

ahhh... Thats kinda what I figured.
