Hello:

I was wondering if anyone remembers the commercial of the plumbing store where they encouraged people to bring in their part and they'll assist on finding the right part for your needs. My PVC pipe cracked connected to my sprinkler system and I need a certain type of threaded top to connect my water meter to it. I checked Lowes/Home Depot and couldn't find what I was looking for. Actually any good plumbing supply place would be appreciated. I just know Lowes and Home Depot. I bought a coupler/primer/cement and pvc tube. I just need the unique threaded top.

Thanks for any help.
Thanh

In NJ I've been to Ferguson's to find hard to find pieces. You might try them around here as well.

I've heard Comet Plumbing in VB is a good plumbing store as well.

I've used Comet Plumbing in VB whenever I've needed anything and they've been great. Much better selection than the Lowes/Home Depot stores and the employees take the time to walk you through what you need to do.

Thanks guys. I just tried Comet/Ferguson and Nolands. None had the specific part I needed. Luckliy my part had the IPC bar code on it so I googled it and ordered the part off of Amazon. What I needed was a 1" union of a specific brand since other brands have different size threads.

I will definitely keep Comet and Ferguson in mind for future plumbing needs. Nolands had a helpful staff also for anyone looking for plumbing help/parts.

Thanks again.

Taylor Do-All is a good place to go if you have a part that is hard to find and you need assistance.
