Default Cheapest place to source PVC from?

Hey Guys & Girls,

As the title states - where is the cheapest place to pick up PVC pipe from? I just don't think I can stomach paying $20+ for a 10' section of 3/4 PVC from Rona. There has to be something cheaper!

Thanks

Corix Water Products - #1, 169 Golden Dr. Coquitlam. Just off United Blvd very near you.

...and you don't need to be buying "sched 40" like HD has... Ask for "Class 200" pipe. It is thinner walled, lighter and easier to work with and cheaper. At the pressures we operate with, class 200 is more than fine.

20+ for 3/4 inch ? I just picked up 1 1/2 inch for 17 and change at Rona. I know Home Depot had 1 1/2 for for around $9 and change but it looked like crap very dirty. I figured for the time I would spend cleaning it I would fork out the extra bucks for the nice clean white stuff from home depot

I work for a plumbing wholesaler so maybe try us... Emco...8308 129th st surrey. Tell the counter guys that Rob said they would give you a good deal for the stuff you need.

I just bought 100' of 3/4 at Home Depot for $30, taxes in. This is "class", not sch 40, but good to 200 psi. I found HD is cheaper for pipe than I pay on my commercial account elsewhere...
