Default LF Plumbing Supply Store - Calgary

Hey all,
I'm doing the plumbing to my sump and am having a hard time finding plumbing parts here in Calgary. I'ver checked Rona and Home Depot. Basically the plumbing departments are a total mess and not very much selection.
Anyone have suggestions on where to go? Someone told me somewhere in the Northeast but but I can't recall the name of the place.
Thanks,
Patrick

Yup, Red Coral will likely have whatever you're looking for and if they don't, "Western Pump" in the South East will :-).

Yes but you have to look for it -it's not with everything else as you'd expect. I went looking there and gave up. Several weeks later, while looking for something else, I found it.

I find the home reno stores vary tremendously from one to another. One location has tons of something the other has next to nothing. Go figure.

You are right. Thats Calgary! You have to drive all day. All over the city to fine what you need. I really got to fine an online plumbing place that sells everything that is plumbing.

Like kien said, "Western Pump". Pretty much everything and more you'll ever want for plumbing.
