Default Plumbing supplies

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a good source for plumbing supplies in the Greater Vancouver area. I am after some black PVC fittings, flex PVC tubing, larger size ball valves, as well as some other general stuff.


Cheers!

Tasasen in Cloverdale has a great supply of PVC fittings. I do not know if they have black PVC. They have flex tubing however you must purchase the hole roll. Try some of the Hot Tub stores, that is where I got mine.

Terasen Waterworks also has an outlet in Richmond, which is potentially closer (however, depending on your daytime availability, their hours could be a challenge, not open on weekends, and 7:00 to 4:30 during the week).

For small amounts of flex PVC, give Green Line Hose & Fittings a try (on Annacis Island).

Regards

Yes

Go to a plumbing wholesaler and get the PVC (almost always white, sometimes clear) ABS is black.

Westburne Plumbing is where I get mine 604-205-2900

Make sure you get a can of primer and a can of glue for the job.
