sourcing metric pipe fittings?

[wbrown]

Re-doing a couple Reef Octopus skimmers' outlets and find that the grey pipe they've used appears to be metric.
Anyone have a source on these? Need a couple slip couplings and 90's.

Check a wholesale plumbing supply ie: Apex, Hughes (if they still exist) or many others look up plumbing supply for your area but throw out big orange and big blue (HD and Lowes) they won't have anything

I believe Apex and Hughes are now HD Supply. Home depot bought them out and renamed it HD Supply.

Wasn't sure about Apex but knew HD has been buying up supply houses and tool manufactures. Tools like Huskey and Commercial Electric are HD companies just as Hampton Bay ceiling fans are owned by HD.
Not to get something started but between HD and Wally World they will own the world of retail.
Being a HD service provider I am amazed at how many of their largest service providers have been bought out by HD

Actually, I think (but not sure) Home Depot actually sold HD Supply a couple years after buying them. When they did that, they put the sales staff on a "Pay when Paid" basis. Many of them left at that time.

Not sure if you can find the actual pipe but you can convert it

I have accidentally found 2x90 in 40mm and about 30cm in 40mm pipe, grey SCH40

Yours free if you ever come up here again...
