Check with Western Pump. Apparently they have a very good selection of fittings.

PVC gate valves are insanely hard to find in Calgary. Don't know why. Western Pump didn't used to have them, what they had that they called "gate" valves were in fact "knife" valves. Don't know if that's still true nowadays but I'd be surprised. I think Red Coral is about your only bet for a proper gate valve. Before Red Coral came along I always had to mail-order for gate valves. Ocean Aquatics and Bulk Reef Supply and J&L are places that will have them. Maybe mops.ca.

That would be a REALLY expensive valve - what would you be using it for?

not sure if it is wholesale only or public but when I managed a hardware store I ordered all of my PVC stuff from a place called Western International Plastics(Wipal) in Calgary , Davies Electric also carried a large inventory of PVC

Not too bad US Plastics is only $35, but then shipping. Thinking converting to a Herbie.
