Go to a vacuum store and buy double lined vac hosing. Cheap and far tougher and comes in 1 1/4 and 1 1/2" diameter and you can buy by the foot.

I paid $40.00 for my Gate valve at Southern Drip Irrigation in Chilliwack 1 1/4
they will have most stuff you need if you feel like coming out this far.

yep southern drip is where its at

Uhhhh, not when a Gate Valve is double the price!

I think this place will work. I spoke to the owner and he is going to get whatever I need and personally deliver it to my door for free (he does this for large orders). Sounds like he basically goes through the suppliers and does not mark stuff up too much. Thanks for all the suggestions though!

You might want to consider just getting some ABS fittings for the 90s, 45s, tees, caps, etc. as long as it's not going to be a pressurized system. Bigger sized ABS is easy to find, cheap and you can glue it to the PVC with transition glue. I order my fittings from Andrew Sheret's at a wholesale discount so I can't help you out on cheaper places because I never shop anywhere else.

Yeah I was going to go ABS with the fittings because Home Depot has them all in the right sizes and cheap. I even bought the PVC/ABS transition cement already. I also had planned to use the ABS inside my tank because I like the black colour. I may still go this route.

As for Andrew Sheret, do they sell to the public? The lady I spoke to on the phone said not PVC stuff. She claimed I had to buy large amounts. This is the one Near Broadway and Main. They seem to have terrible customer service too. I called about three times on different days and they said they would call me back and each time, never did. I had heard they were good though...:neutral:

Andrew Sherets should sell to walk-in public customers. I have an account with them but I frequently see joe schmoe in there buying a few fittings here and there, or some micro-irrigation parts to repair a broken system. There's also one in Richmond - close to Golf Town. That one is pretty close to Vancouver if you can get a lift and they might have a friendlier receptionist.

What about PVC cutters? Where is a good spot to pick these up? I need some that will cut up to 2" stuff. I have never seen them before, how much do they usually cost?

Find yourself one of those pipe cutters with the little cutting wheels. I have one that cuts up to 2" pipe and it was well worth the $50 investment. Hell, if I only had to plumb one tank ever, it'd be worth it.

Yeah I think those are the "PVC cutters" Im talking about. I just have not been able to find them in town here.
