Where do you find...??

[MiloMacaw]

OK all you PVC builders- where do you find the more unique fittings??? I found most everything at lowes/home depot except for my 3 way corners, 4 way corners and 5 way crosses. I have called every plumbing supply in town, and the only place I found on the internet wants like $4 for each peice, quite pricey!!!

Does anyone know of a good company to order them from??

5 ways I don't know. I got my 3 and 4 way at Home Depot. But they aren't something they keep a lot of.

yeah...i have never seen any 5 way... my guess would be a plumbing supply place? but i got my 3-4 way at homedepot.

From what I understand Home Depot and Lowe's are the only places that carry them. They're really cheap too, something like $.29 for the elbows, and T's. And they're even cheaper (just a couple pennies) if you buy them in the Contractor pack which consists of 10 pieces in a pkg.

I"m not sure about the 5 way never used any of those. Dh did just got me a couple 4 ways for the stand I just completed and he got them at Lowe's. Not sure how much they were, (didn't look) but I'm sure they were less than $.50 a piece.

OMG You're kidding? If that were the case here that stand I just made wouldn't of been made. Dh was teasing that it was costing a small forutne. That's just insane.

greencinacheeks - where are you buying them??? I get mine at Lowes in Winchester or Sterling for .29 ea. elbows - 1/2", for larger like 1" they are a little bit more - but like someone said the packages that hold 10 ea. are the cheapest way to go. More intricate pieces are of course more but I would say the most expensive piece I have bought for Peeka's playstand was 1.29 and that was prob. 1" cross or 1" to 1/2" tee.
