Problem sourcing valves for Norwesco 65 gallon upright

[blackstallion]

I'm setting up a mixing station with a Norwesco 65 gallon upright tank I picked up today. The bulkhead fitting that came pre-assembled with the tank seems to be a 1 1/4" FPT. Initially, to get me going quick, I want to set it up with a valve (ball or gate) so I can just fill a container for water changes. However, I've looked on BRS, Marine Depot and even local HD and could not find any 1 1/4" MPT valves nor fittings. The only fitting I found in that size was a garden hose adapter in the sump section:

Everbilt 1-1/4 in. Polypropylene MIP Garden Hose Adapter

Everbilt 1-1/4 in. Polypropylene MIP Garden Hose Adapter EBMGHA125 - The Home Depot

Designed for a 1-1/4 in. female threaded sump or utility pump, this garden hose adapter connects to a standard 3/4 in. garden hose. The adapter easily threads onto the pump discharge. Use of rubber gaskets

Any ideas where I can pick up this type of valve? Or even a 1 1/4" MPT reducing elbow to attach a smaller valve?

The internet says it's

Outlet / Drain 1	1-1/4" PP Female NPT Bulkhead Fitting

You should be able to find parts at Home Depot. 1 1/4 is a little used size so the kinds of fittings are limited.

You should find other sizes as well.

That one is not for potable water, would think you want to use parts that are designated for potable use.

Only one I could find on the HD website is out of stock. Batting 0!

i don't know where you are located , but i work in the piping trades, and the same supplier that sends 3000 pound pieces of steel pipe to the job also sells sch 80 plastic grey piping and fittings! a lot of time places like brs buy fittings and pipe from a distributor and mark up the price. the on lot downfall is that they require you to buy the whole 21 foot length.
