Where to get PVC pipe and fitting in Orlando, Florida

Post by Kjetil »

I`m on holiday in Orland, Florida. Since we do not have these PVC pipe in Norway, I`m planning top buy some here. Do anyone know where to buy PVC here? The best thing is if I can buy pipe without buying the whole length.

Thanks

welcome to orlando!

lowes, home depot, ace hardware all stock this stuff. they will cut it for you, too. I don't know where you are staying, but there should be one of these places within 20 minutes of you.

Be careful though, Lowes and Home Depot stock foam core PVC which is not pressure rated. If you look up a plumbing supply near you and get real pressure rated PVC, they should also be able to sell it to you by the foot.

If you have any doubt, ask the guy in the department. Id just hate for you to get drain pipe PVC (not pressure rated), fly it back home, and have it fail when you cant readily buy more.

Thanks for all the replies.

I found this on the webpage to Home Depot http://www.homedepot.com/Plumbing-Pipes ... ogId=10053 seems like this is SCH 40. I will drop by one of them tomorrow to have a look

I did. Was At home depot at 7 am at Zieger Road. I passed Lowe's at my way over to Home Depot, visit them as well. They had everything I needed. But they only sold in min 10 feet lenght. I was planning to buy pipe on our way back late next week.

I meet some plummers in a Marina on our way to West Palm Beach, they gave me the pipes I needed for a few $.

The onlything that I'm missing is some fitting that I will buy next week.

great!

the lowes and and home depots around me all sell pvc pipe in 2' lengths as well, but they usually are not near the 10' sections.
