re plumbing parts store in nyc

ECFENCING · 01-05-2006, 01:08 PM

Does anyone know of a plumbing supply store in NYC. I need a 3/4" Male Threaded Adapter and a 1" to 3/4" reducer slip x slip.

I can get it from us plastics or savko but it won't arrive it time for this weekend.

I can wait for the shipment but if anyone knows of a plumbing store then I'll pick up these fittings so I can change out my pump this weekend.

Loews in brooklyn has a pretty good PVC plumbing department (they are right on the Gowanus) take the F train to smith and 9th street stop and your right there.

Thx Aaron. The Lowes by me in Orangeburg NY doesn't have such a good supply but it might be worth calling and finding out. I'll check HD as well.

I've used an outfit called Mcmaster Carr.

www.mcmaster.com

If you order before 6:00, they ship UPS ground same day, and you'll have it tomorrow. They don't have aquarium specific items (i.e. bulkheads) or flex pvc, but they have a great selection of all other things.

I have used them many many times.

Ernie,

I believe New World Aquarium carries them. Give them a call first thought before heading over. They are on 38th street and 3rd avenue i believe.

Yeah, Lowes and Home depot carries them.

Thanks everyone.

Would you use sch 80 or sch 40 for these fittings? Right now I have sch 40 and have never had any problems but I guess it's worth it for an extra $1-$2.

sch 40 is fine i never had any problem
