WTB: elbow barb (3/4" x 3/4")

tsinkoy · 10-29-2007, 09:03 PM

Tried some hardware stores in Manhattan, couldn't find these. Thought someone might have extras and are willing to part with it.

I need three 90degree elbow barbs (3/4" x 3/4").

Thanks.

Where did you get them from?

I got them from New World Aquarium. I combed about 7 or 8 hardware and plumbing stores in Manhattan (Midtown, Village and UES) and the Home Depots (Chelsea, Midtown, Glendale) for it, and couldn't find it.

They were $2.99 each. It hurt, but it's the price I pay for not wanting to buy online.

Thanks, thought you might have found a hidden manhattan pvc/plastic plumbing store.

I wish!

They offered me an alternative for my return tubing (I forget what it's called, but it's basically PVC tubing with a swivel head that you connect to the vinyl return line), but it cost $39.99, and what I wanted to make only needed 5 pieces of barbs/adaptors which cost $16.

How I wish there was a more comprehensive plumbing supply store in Manhattan.
