Where to buy PVC Gate Valves in Seattle area?

[scytale]

Does anyone know a store in the Seattle area (preferably on the Eastside) that sells PVC Gate vales? (1", threaded?)

I've tried calling all the plumbing places I know (McLendons, Morgan's, Keller, Ferguson, Rosen, etc.). Trying to avoid (the shipping costs of) purchasing online...

You sure McLendons didn't have them? Heck, they even sell bulkheads and O-ring fittings

McClendon's in Woodinville or Grainger in Bothell. Also try a Ace Hardware place. I know Tweedy and Popp Ace Hardware has some Gate Valves. The have stores in Wallingford and Shoreline/Richmond Beach.

Hi Jason,

Do you carry the Kbi (King Brothers) brand of gate valves?

 

[fishoutofwater]

i know ace has sold them and mclendons. also check lowes or home depot. sometimes you can get them to transfer or order them in,

I know the Ace Hardware in Sammamish carries 1" gate valves.

Ace Hardware keeps them, just picked some up last week while in Seattle:biggrin1:.

Why not Bulk Reef Supply, can't beat their prices. Also check out Barrier Reef, I think I had seen some in their back baskets. I'd look for the ones that have the disconnects at the valve, otherwise it takes up a lot of pipe real estate foot print.

not every ace carries them though, i would call.

Well, 3 strikes tonight--no PVC Gate-valves to be found in the North/Eastside. :-(

-Woodinville McLendons: "no pvc gate valves, we just have ball valves."
-0 of 4 at Ace stores (Kirkland, Lake Forest Park, Tweedy-Pop Lake City**, Tweedy Wallingford)

**This after driving all the way to Lake City, after calling Tweedy Lake City--and them saying "yeah we have 1" threaded gate valves in both brass and pvc." >:-|
Plenty of Brass Gate Valves, and plenty of PVC ball (and stop) valves--but no PVC Gate Valves.

I didn't bother with Lowes(t) Home Improvement or Hell Depot--I know their stock better than the employees. (They barely keep ball valves in sotck/in the right box; I don't have any hope for a gate valve there.)

I guess it's back to the Inter-webs, and the obligatory shipping fees.
sigh.

This is where I got most of mine


KBI GVG-1000-S 1 Ips Sxs Pvc Gate Valves at HardwareAndTools.com

Ah, that is a good price! (too bad they don't have 1" swing check valve too, then they'd be the one-stop-shop!)

Credit goes to Barrier Reef for actually having gate valves in stock--but just 3/4" (not 1" like I wanted.)
But they still had 100% more gate valves than anyone else around.

Note: anyone looking for a good deal on BALL Valves should check out the HarborFrieght store in Bellevue.
They had Sch 80 1/2", 3/4", and 1" ball valves on clearance for $.99-1.49 !! (They're hiding on the same aisle as the pipe wrenches.)
