The 200th location is near me, you could drop around if you go there Kelly... and bring me some tasty frags
I'll probably check out Andrew Sheret first, but I'll let you know what I find.

Do you have any room left in your tank? Or did you upgrade again? I can always find some nice frags for you Rob. Maybe a Desalwii, Blue Matrix, Sunset milli, or a Diablo Milli (might be a while this one though)?

gate valves will be difficult to find.

your best bet will be home depot.

I've been to Andrew Sherbet. You can't just walk around to shop for the bits and pieces, you need to give the fellow at the sales counter your list. He collects all of it and you pay for it. You're unable to price shop.

good luck!

Corix in Coquitlam has gate valves and you can walk around and check out what they have . There prices are pretty decent.

andrew sheret is the distributor for all this kind of stuff. there is no "price shopping" and you don't need to here - you get stuff about 1/2 the price of any retail location. My friend Leigh parker works there in the back if you want to ask for him - he'll help you out.

pm me and I'll give him a heads up if you plan on going there - they are also open on saturday's

Wait a second, this is my thread!

Thanks for the info. I do want to shop it out first, so I will check out Corix first.

Gate valves at Home Depot good luck my Home Depot only has PVC 1/2 to 1" corix is the cheapest for PVC. No point of price shopping everything is about half price or lower then Home Depot and Rona. sherit would be very close in comparison for prices.

Gate valves are cheaper at Corix than your LFS

Here's a sample of the prices.

Spears Gate Valve - FPT
1" $20
3/4" $17
1/2" $14

Spears Check Valves - flap
1" $18
3/4" $17
1/2" $10

Please keep in mind, you'll need to contact your local Corix store for prices.

Good luck!
