Flex PVC

[Omair]

Where do you guys get your plumbing parts in the Northern VA area? Or do you order it online? I'm going to need to purchase Flex PVC and other odds/ends down the line and wanted to see if there were any other options aside from Home Depot.

Lowes

Lowes has the best selection.

Some of your LFS, BRK-F&F-MarineScene etc also carry parts. They often will have bulkheads and other items you WONT find at the HD or Lowes..

I see it in Lowes in Sterling quite often. It's called Spa Flex and it's in the area of the plumbing department where they keep the vinyl tubing. Often times, it's up over your head.

Lowes is best for 99% of plumbing needs.

Flex PVC looks like HE**. Why not just use regular pvc and make it flow nicely?

Nice thanks a lot as I need to get some as well and I'll have to swing by and grab some.

I like hard pvc for most of my plumbing. Flex PVC has it's place, though. For example, when I'm trying to isolate my main pump from the plumbing, I'll use flex PVC in places. This isolates the plumbing from the pump's vibration.

 

I'll also sometimes use it in a less visible area where I just want to drape pipe in an area needing, or benefiting from, a shallow bend without needing to play with a variety of couplings.

I prefer hard pipe with a length of silicone tubing to insulate the pump from vibrating the plumbing.
