I googled it a few times.. Wyes fittings... and I could not find one that goes 90deg... I found several that go to 45deg... or 60deg, but even the description said they were approximate angles... Frigg'n weird b/c it seems like it would be a very commonly used fitting...   let me know if you do find one.

I would be OK with male or female slip or FPT.

Have you seen this part in either of the outlets you mentioned?

I checked Wolsley locally...they had nothing and no ideas where to find either.

I think I have seen it at Preston Hardware. Is that 1 1/2"? They have a good selection of 1 1/2" ABS fittings.

Hi John,

I have a supplier where I can get the ABS version, I am looking for the PVC version in 1 1/2".

Did you try the plastic place on Colonnade? I went there to get all of my plumbing supplies. It's a pretty small place, but worth a try if you haven't already found it.

Hi Lillian,

I have not found the fitting yet. I have looked everywhere with no success.

For anyone starting a plumbing project, and are willing to travel to Ogdensburg Lowes, you should go to Lowes for all your PVC needs. they have lots of selection and cheap too. In Brockville I bought 4,  1.5", 90 degree, MPT to slip fittings, $60 plus tax. At Lowes I bought two shopping bags full of fittings, $77. Hmmm, I wonder where I will go for almost all of my PVC fittings from now on.
