Plumbing parts and more

[serankko]

Hello,

Do you guys know any place in Atlanta to find all the fittings, connectors, etc (bulkheads, Modular pipe or Loc-Line, nozzles, etc) and all the plastic stuff that we always need and we can not find in lowe's or HD ???

I'm not an expert, so I need to see, touch, and play with the stuff in my hand.

Thanks

I just got two intake pipe covers for my PVC replacment build-out for the cheezy fluval 204 plastic tank-ware (mine is MUCH better and doesn't leak). I got the parts at Marine Fish in Marietta. They have a large selection of these type parts you can look at and see. You have to ask because they are in large bins in the back. I have also seen an excellent selection of bulkheads and other parts at Fish Store & More in Buckhead.

Much of this stuff can be gotten much cheaper online, but I am like you, I need to see and handle some of the stuff to make sure I am getting what I want.

I've bought bulkheads and other specialty plumbing goods locally at FS&M, Imagine OCean, and Under the Wave. I would think that most of the other LFSs in town would also carry those sorts of items.

Ace Hardware has a better selection of some of the plumbing parts I have needed. But they do not have bulkheads or loc-line.

Has anyone seen 1 1/2in gate valves anywhere? I called several LFS including FS&M, Cap Bay, and MF, and none have any.

Georgia...

Try Grainger, they have PVC Gate Valves in both threaded and weld on type!

Thanks guys, I'm going to try Ace Hardware and Grainger first.

mcmaster carr has every possible plumbing item you can think of. except locline, under the wave usually stocks loc line and i think FS&M does as well. when buying gate valves make sure you get a gate valve and not a stop vavle, they look alike but operate differently.
go to : http://www.mcmaster.com and do a search. they are located off fulton ind blvd in sw atlanta off I-20.

Marine Fish has line loc stuff.

RobinsonFarm1, I had no idea that mcmaster has a store here in Atlanta. At least I'm going to save the shipping costs.

Thanks
