plumbing parts help...
Looking for some 1/4" PVC pipe fittings and can't find them. Does anyone have any idea? I have checked A-Boy, HD, Lowes, Ace Hardware, but I'm hoping maybe there's an A-Boy or Ace at some little hidden location that may just carry them.

just use flexible soda straws and some rubber cement, they make great elbows!

James will do.
Krux... I was wondering about your plumbing.  You know if you run a long tubing out to the pool and back, you can use that as your chiller. Better yet, let's make your pool into a reef sanctuary

Not sure what your application is, but I just finished plumbing a 1/4" line to my fridge (icemaker) and used flex line / plastic compression fittings.
You could find these at most places, at HD they are not in "plumbing" section, they are over in the appliance section.
hth.

Yup... I have a bunch of jaco speed fittings and flex lines.. but like to do some hard plumbing. Picked up a couple of Hayward 1/4" ball valves and want to get some SCH 80 fittings to go with it. Tired of tubings and flex lines.
Thanks
Jim

Quote from Jim," Krux...I was wondering about your plumbing " Maybe you fellas need to get a room. Anyway, try "CPVC" like the hot water supply stuff, usually set apart from the regular PVC. R2

Jim, specifically what parts are you looking for? I've got *some* 1/4" fittings but not a whole lot. You can call Harrington Plastics down in Tigard if ya want. 503-684-0991

R2, didn't even think about that... good thought
James, that's where I got the ball valve, but they didn't have any 1/4" plumbing on hand... now thinking more about it. I may be able to use a 1/2" - 1/4" reducer for my need. I'm doing some testing on my other system before putting the main system together.
