Default Best selection of PVC fittings??

I am trying to make new standpipes, like this: http://home.everestkc.net/jrobertson...struction.html

The issue is I can't find the 1"-1 1/2" adapter. Anyone know a place in town that sells em? Home depot and Canadian tire don't.

Did you check the conduit fittings in home depot? Same thing but grey, they usually have 1"-1.5" bushings among other things. Otherwise Rona usually carries them as well, if not you can check places like western pump but I made the same standpipes last year and I either purchased everything from Rona or HD.

I just picked one of those up at the Plumbfull Warehouse (2020 32 Ave NE), a couple of doors down from Big Al's.

Their selection of fittings isn't great, but I did find what I need. I think the selection is probably better at Benner (4528 Edmonton Trail NE): according to what Hubby says.

I'm done dealing with big box stores for plumbing parts. The guys at the Plumbfull Warehouse were very helpful, and it was so much easier than trying to track down an associate at Home Depot.

I found lowes has a good selection. Also has union ball valves which is pretty sweet. I've found myself using the new one in Mackenzie Towne lots more than Home Depot.

This place seems to have it all and more. I haven't stumped them yet.
