Default U-tube in Edmonton?

Anyone know where I can buy a 1" u-tube for an overflow box in Edmonton? Thanks!

I've got one you can have for free if you know of anyone travelling Calgary/Edmonton anytime soon...

Big Al's can bring them in but with a 4-6 week wait.

Much appreciated but need rather soon (my current U-tube has a leak and so is letting air in and breaking the siphon) and no plans for a Calgary trip in the near future.

I think that's my the best immediate option -- build out of PVC.

Plug the leak with coral glue, let dry, and it should hold you for a little while until you get a replacement.
