Anyone know where I can get just a bit of Flex PVC and not have to buy a whole bunch???

The problem for me right now is that I have no car, so something in vancouver is way easier for me. If its too far away or out of the way, I can't really get a ride out.

Anyways, anyone have anything to sell or a name of a store IN Vancouver?

Thanks!

PS. Someone buy my 90G so I can pay for all this plumbing stuff!!!!!!!

I have a bag full of plambing parts , where are you in Vancouver?

Go to a vacuum store and buy double lined vac hosing. Cheap and far tougher and comes in 1 1/4 and 1 1/2" diameter and you can buy by the foot.

I paid $40.00 for my Gate valve at Southern Drip Irrigation in Chilliwack 1 1/4
they will have most stuff you need if you feel like coming out this far.

Uhhhh, not when a Gate Valve is double the price!

I think this place will work. I spoke to the owner and he is going to get whatever I need and personally deliver it to my door for free (he does this for large orders). Sounds like he basically goes through the suppliers and does not mark stuff up too much. Thanks for all the suggestions though!

You might want to consider just getting some ABS fittings for the 90s, 45s, tees, caps, etc. as long as it's not going to be a pressurized system. Bigger sized ABS is easy to find, cheap and you can glue it to the PVC with transition glue. I order my fittings from Andrew Sheret's at a wholesale discount so I can't help you out on cheaper places because I never shop anywhere else.

Yeah I was going to go ABS with the fittings because Home Depot has them all in the right sizes and cheap. I even bought the PVC/ABS transition cement already. I also had planned to use the ABS inside my tank because I like the black colour. I may still go this route.

As for Andrew Sheret, do they sell to the public? The lady I spoke to on the phone said not PVC stuff. She claimed I had to buy large amounts. This is the one Near Broadway and Main. They seem to have terrible customer service too. I called about three times on different days and they said they would call me back and each time, never did. I had heard they were good though...
