Default Plumbing supplies
Running into a little roadblock here...finally ready to tackle plumbing but can't seem to find any pvc fittings at the big box stores, eg elbows, unions,couplings. Any info on local suppliers?
Also need a 1 1/2" bulkhead and JL is out of stock and unsure of when next shipment will arrive.

Thanks!

Home depot only carries pvc in relation to irrigation. So you will only get fittings up to 1".

You will need to go to a specialty Irrigation supply shop.

Corix has several places in the lower mainland.

I saw their website and thought they were wholesale.
I'll check it out - thanks!

Corix is where I've gone in the past.

Will be heading there in near future as I need to plumb my new display as well.

Go to Corix @ 69 Golden Dr unit #1, Coquitlam
Tell them you are a Landscape Installer to get a discount.

Best pricing you'll find and selection is excellent.

So, it is wholesale? I don't know how convincing I'll be as a "landscape installer" when I'll be stammering and not even knowing the right terminology

Just walk up to the sales counter and say cash sale. Bingo bango no problemo. They get a ton of aquarium nuts coming in and looking for fittings... just explain you are one of those nuts.
They only supply thread/thread bulkheads... not the more popular slip/slip bulkheads.
