Urgently need 2" Gate Valve!

Man you would think this would be easier to find! I have called 4 different plumbing supply stores and about 4 hardware stores and none have a simple 2" Gate Valve! None of the aquarium shops seem to stock anything bigger than 1.5" either. I really need this tomorrow...anyone have any ideas of where I can find one???

have you tried OA?

Yes but they just have only up to 1.5" Gate Valves.

Could you put in the knife valve but rig your plumbing that it could be easily removed (and replaced with gate) in find you don't have good control?

Well I was thinking that but it makes things a bit more complicated. I spoke to a plumber today who said knife valves are are very accurate but he also does not know anything about tank plumbing. I have no idea how it would work...

Have you tried Corix Water Products? They special ordered for me a lot of the things I needed, including some Spears Gate valves. The largest I purchased was only 1.5" though.

Yeah they said they would have to order it. That doesnt really work because my puffers need to get out of QT asap. They are getting very cramped in their respective tanks. I really find it hard to believe how hard it is to fins stuff here. I know that even Home Depot in the US carries them but not here.

look up emco in the phone book. They should have it in stock or be able to get one next day. They are one of the biggest plumbing wholesalers in Canada.

Thanks. Will Emco sell to the public? I thought I had called them in the past and they said I had to be either buying in bulk or a business. I may be thinking of another company though...
