Bump, I found a couple places locally for PVC and the spa flex.
Just need to know where you guys get the sch 80 gate valves, specifically 1.5". |

Marine Aquaria usually has gate valves on hand, Fabco Plastics also may have them in stock

Zeebest plastics or best plumbing in Edmonton. Worth giving them a call.

nothing with those guys^
Might have to bite the bullet and order from the US. Hopefully there's some good Boxing day deals, I just hate paying the ridiculous shipping costs. |

So true, the prices are competitive and then you get hit with a $50 shipping bill

Again, try Corix for the SCH80 items. If they don't carry, they can order in from Spears. SCH80 gate valves will be expensive, just a warning.
http://www.corix.com/contact-us/cont...oducts/alberta Shouldn't have to source gate valves from the US, especially in Alberta. |

I've rarely had luck finding gate valves or bulkheads at local plumbing supply companies. I have found Spears gate valves on occasion, but they cost double what LFS have them for. I'm not sure what the deal is. That's like RO filters - go to a water store of Home Depot and the filters cost at least double. The most local to you that I know of that has gate valves is Concept Aquatics in Calgary. Otherwise, our sponsors J&L Aquatics and Reef Supplies both carry gate valves.

J&L and Amazon, along with some US companies.

Brand also plays a part.
Spears (gate valves) and Hayward (bulkheads) just cost more than B&K or others for Schedule 80. Also, the seal type can up the cost as well. Make sure you are looking at Buna-N, not EPDM or FKM o-rings. The Spears part numbers for slip x slip, Buna-N, non-rising gate valves are below. 1" 2012-010 1.5" 2012-015 2" 2012-020 Charles
