Where to get plumbing supplies?

[boydx6]

What plumbing supply does everyone use. Preferably in the St. Pete area. I need fittings and adapters.

creepo and lowes. if you can get into a hughes they have alot more but the basics can be found at the first 2. I think lowes fittings are better. use blue glue. the underwater stuff. I plumbed an entire 120 with creepo fittings and every single fitting leaked. that was a few years ago so I am sure it's not the same batch. they are like wal mart though and use the most generic cheapest thing they can find for higher profit margines. lowes has had the same manufacturer since I first stepped foot in one. lasco is the best. nibco is the leaking fittings.

What I need is a water hose ti 1/4 plastic line adapter. Lowes only has the adapter for copper/aluminum. I tried one of them last night and wasn't able to make it work for me. The compression sleeve twists on the hose and won't seal. Do you think FAOIS will carry this?

if you are using a compression fitting on vinyl you should use and insert ferrile I think it might be called. lowes sells them. that way the vinyle can't crush. when using brass at least. john may have one for the ro stuff.

Try Goodyear Rubber in St. Pete. They have a ton of fittings and tubing. They should have the plastic compression fittings u r looking for. Central and 19th st.
