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.

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.

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
