Someone please tell me what this looks like and where I can find it. Home Depot did not carry it in my town.

Thank you

Like this, except with female threads:

This is a schedule 40 piece. It can also come in schedule 80, and is usually gray.

This supplier only has socket ones, which we don't want, otherwise I would have supplied them.

I found it at Home Depot but it wasn't in the regular plumbing section. They had it with the underground sprinkler tubing and fittings along with some of the other parts I was looking for. The people in the plumbing section didn't know ehere to get it and I just happened to ask another employee who turned out to be a manager.

Brian, what do you mean by "socket"

only has socket ones

same as "slip" fitting?

Try Lowes; they have more schedule 80 fittings then HD and maybe this one. BTW, I've found the schedule 80 (gray) threaded fittings to be much more leak-proof than sched 40. I don't know why, except maybe the quality control is higher (better thread cutting)

Yes, socket and slip are the same...I wasn't thinking well when I wrote that.

The picture of the reactor shows schedue 40 fittings - and I think the reactor would probably look better this way. Any one found a source for schedule 40 1/2" threaded unions?

My usual supplier for speciality pvc, www.Savko.com, doesn't carry them.

Checked at yet another Home Depot, and bought the threaded unions for, are you ready for this.... 1 cent each. I can get a bunch more if anyone needs them.

Same here Unresistable! I thought it was just a local thing. I bought a dozen several weeks ago and the guy offered me two whole boxes of 40 for 1 cent each!

Be careful though. The department manager told me they were getting rid of them because the little rubber O ring doesn't fit snugly and tends to fall out. He told me to just dab a little silicone lubricant on it and that would keep it in place. Works like a charm!

Cool deal huh!
