WTB: 1) True Union Ball Valves & 2) Black Vinyl Tubing 1"

[Newreeflady]

I have placed the order for the bulk of my plumbing parts

So, I just need two True union ball valves 1" solvent style, and I need 6 feet of 1" black vinyl tubing.

I just want to make sure that I get ball valves with o-rings and no lubricants that could potentially poison my system. And, if possible, i'd prefer to get them from a place that also stocks 1" black vinyl tubing.

Suggestions? I went to HD.com and didn't find the true union ball valves I was looking for. I'll need to swing out to a hardware store to pick up primer and solvent for Flex PVC (The site I purchased from suggests Christy's Red Hot, any objections?)

Thanks!

savko will have all the plumbing you'll need, except the black vinyl. why not black flexible pvc?

black flexible pvc (spaflex) can be found at aquaticeco dot com.

goodluck

I have boxes of Asahi ball valves. Several of which are true union. Let me see what I have in the way of 1" slp tru union ball valve for you. I'll sell them dirt cheap

I would like some too Gresham. LMK if Newreeflady doesn't want it.

Your looking for 1" slp true union b valve as well? IIRC, I have both slp and FPT.

1" slp is good.

Pick up at meeting??

Do you have any single unions as well? I am interested =)

Gresham, pm sent.

Thanks everyone for your help. If I can't hook up with Gresham, i'll try Harrington's. I'll probably swing out there either way if they have a lot of stuff.

Art, I kinda want something a little more flexible and moveable than the flex-pvc for the drain. I am using the spaflex for everything else, though

Thanks!
