Title: PVC fittings galore, cheap too.
Post by: JD on February 12, 2010, 07:01:36 PM
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.

I have also ordered my fittings from Homehardware.  Local store to me has shipments every Thursday, so I just ordered it in and picked it up.  Just get the part numbers off their site, call the local store to you, and they will bring it in for you.

You mean I don't have to take off work early and drive to an inconvient location to get a true union ball valve!!!!

Wait a minute, Ogdensburg is pretty far for those of us not living in Brockville or Oxford Mills. :P

I drive to Ottawa or Gananoque for me to buy fish is a walk in the park.

Don't you just love CITY FOLKS, if its not "Just around the corner" its too far.

Get out of the house, take a drive, get some fresh air, do a little exploring.

Its a big world out there, have some fun. Life is too short.

Just my $0.02
