AlanM March 20, 2013 Share March 20, 2013 I want to get some 1.5" flexible schedule 40 PVC pipe, normally called spaflex if a local store has it. Lowes near me has 1" spaflex, but that's all. I can order it from flexpvc.com, but it's $30 shipping for the 10 feet I need. Is it available from any fish stores or hardware stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind March 20, 2013 Share March 20, 2013 Any pool or spa place should carry it. I know these guys have it as I was there recently. Contemporary Watercrafters 7914 Cessna Avenue Gaithersburg, MD Telephone: 301-948-8111 $2.50/ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM March 20, 2013 Author Share March 20, 2013 Sweet! I'll give them a call. I like going out by the airpark. Lots of cool stuff out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM March 20, 2013 Author Share March 20, 2013 haha, did you just call them, Coral Hind? The guy I'm talking to said someone else just called like 5 min ago asking for 1.5" spaflex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind March 20, 2013 Share March 20, 2013 Yeah, I called Will that works there to check on the qty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmatte March 20, 2013 Share March 20, 2013 FYI, I'm a pool guy and have a commercial account at CW. If anyone needs large quantities or more expensive items let me know. A few feet @ $2.50 a foot won't make much difference though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmatte March 20, 2013 Share March 20, 2013 (edited) I rarely use CW though as I have cheaper distributors that only sell to contractors. Edited March 20, 2013 by swimmatte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM April 23, 2013 Author Share April 23, 2013 So add Lowes to the local sources that carry Spaflex. At least the 1-1/2" stuff. They'd had a label for it on the shelf forever, but they only had a spool of braided clear PVC tubing in that spot. Sunday I was there getting something else, and I saw a couple guys working in the plumbing section. I brought them over and pointed to it and asked if they intended to carry 1-1/2" spaflex, because the stuff on that spool wasn't it. They looked around on the upper shelves, found the box that had the right number on it, schlepped the big stairs over, and voila, a big box of spaflex. Nice. Now at least the Gaithersburg Lowes has it on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM April 23, 2013 Author Share April 23, 2013 I should also mention that BRK, which has a reputation for always having lots of fittings and plumbing stuff including pre-made manifolds, also keeps 1-1/2" and 2" in stock. Since most of the club lives in VA, this is probably a better solution than Lowes for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
