Online source for plumbing fittings?
 

Any inexpensive online sources for plumbing parts and fittings?

It is time consuming to search several HD/Rona's and often don't find the part. Western Pump (in Calgary) is only open when I'm at work. I've looked at a few US companies online but shipping is > $30. At the moment I'm looking for 3/4 barb tees and some john guest style airline fittings.

The ones I find to have the best selection in canada are these guys.

Good old bulk reef supply has lots of high quality fittings, gate valves, true union ball valves and unions in SCH 40. Not sure if you'd be looking for the higher end stuff, but they do have a good selection.

out of the two (at least in Calgary) rona always has a wider selection. i've had very good luck at the one on macleod trail. for anything i can't find i order from BRS. not the cheapest maybe but i usually am ordering some other stuff from there anyways.

I've purchased plumbing supplies from Go Reef. I was pleased with the price, though it took them a couple of days to ship my order. It worked out much cheaper than BRS for the four parts I ordered, as BRS's shipping price on the four parts was very high.

Thanks for the tips!

Unfortunately these stores are setup for larger orders. I am looking for a few pieces worth < $5 but can't get them for less than $30 with shipping. The Rona on Macleod is good but still only had 1 out of 2 fittings. I guess this is just the nature of reefing in Canada at the moment.

I wonder if these new 3D printers can print fittings?

Weird. I paid just under $10 shipping for the plumbing parts I ordered from Go Reef.

It seemed like a good deal to me, but I drive an F250 and it would cost me more then $10 in gas to drive around looking for the parts.

Those 3D printers can print anything! I don't know of anyone in town that can do it, though.

I think they had cheaper shipping but more expensive parts. I'll take another look. Thanks!

The parts I ordered from Go Reef were a bit more costly than the other places. I still paid less in total than I would have ordering from the shops in the US, though. And, my order got here pretty quick. :) I'm really pleased with them.
