Thread: 6'' pvc fittings costly? Adelaide.

6" storm water is cheaper than the sewer fittings.

$30 per pieces sounds like Bunnings/Masters prices.
Have you tried large scale reticulation specialist suppliers.

Sorry I meant storm water pvc fittings. Edited original post thanks
Masters and Bunnings from what I saw, dont really stock that size of fitting, usually just 4" and smaller.

I have tried big plumbing places, Reece for example.

Thanks mate.
Ill try http://www.iplex.com.au/index.php tomorrow and see if I have any luck.
Little bit of a travel for me, but maybe worth the drive.

i recently picked up some 6" pieces from Reece in melbourne.
90 degree bend = $22.39 inc. GST
45 degree bend = $22.99 inc. GST

thats for PVC stormwater fittings. I didnt screw em on price. thats just the price over the counter, no trade discounts or similar....

Blimey that is expensive, about double the pipe online price see http://www.pipeonline.com.au/listPro...ORMWATER+BENDS
It's not often that WA prices are this much cheaper, usually we get screwed from multiple directions due to the mining industry paying whatever is asked.
It may even be worth seeing what shipping costs from WA are at those prices.

yeah i figured the shipping charges would be about 60-80bux with one of the couriers to drag it from one side of the country to the other. 6" fittings are very light...but so damn bulky. by the time u get a few elbows and a couple of Y junctions, its a pretty big box. so add in an extra $10/piece = i only paid a extra couple bux per piece for the convenience of having it in the garage the day that I wanted it, instead of 2 days after the day i wanted it

Just an update is anyone is interested.
Virginia Irrigation sells 6" pvc fittings (they get from iplex) for $15 each.

As a plumber with an account in Western Sydney, my price for 6" stormwater 45 degree bend is $11.72.

I've just bought a stack of stuff.

S/w junction 150mm x 45 deg $16.81
S/w bend f+f 150mm x 45 deg $13.60
S/w pipe 150mm x 6m length $50

Delivery to O'Halloran Hill was$15

Big A Plumbing
173 Main Rd
McLaren Vale
8323 9720

Similar prices at Total Eden (thank you to John Samuel for the heads up on them) at Bomaderry, purchased this morning.

S/W 45^o F&F bend 150mm $14.50
S/W 6M x 150mm $66.55

I don't have an account, that's just retail. Delivery free (I'm outside Berry) ~20km away (on salesman's way home?).

Not of much use to OP, as TE don't seem to have a presence in SA, but maybe useful for others.

Cheers,

Mark

Anyone know of cheap places in Brisbane?
