where to get a gate valve?

[newnano]

anyone know where i can get a 1.5" plastic gate valve locally? lowes,ace, HD do not carry them.

The only place I've seen them was at Aquarium Adventure in Ohio. I haven't been to the one here, b/c I dislike the company.

HD should have them I got mine there

 

[newnano]

i was at HD lowes and ace and they only had the brass valves in that size

Try www.mcmaster.com. They're in Elmhurst.

thanks puff. that might help with shipping costs. i usually order from savko but 8 bucks shipping for a $15 valve just sucks

 

[newnano]

couldnt find one on there. ill continue to look

I guraantee you, McMaster Carr will have them.

ben...is see you did the recirc mod on your g3. how involved was it?

 

[Pufferpunk]

I'm planning the same thing on my G2. I'd like to know how happy folks are with the performance improvement, before cutting into my perfectly good skimmer.

At HD they were way on the top top shelf would'nt have seen them if not for the picture on the box

We could dilute the shipping cost if we could buy at least three or four of them.

If someone wants to order a few of them, I need one too.

If someone needs a 1 1/4" for a gate valve mod for their ASM G3, I have an extra one.

its a shame you didnt have a g4 i would have swung by and got that valve from you on my way home

Is the return pipe bigger on the G4?

It was pretty simple. I had problems b/c I cut one of my holes to high. I just used spaflex and a toaster oven to fix it.

I'm going to do it if I ever get around to buying a spare needle wheel.
