Source for 50 mm plumbing adapters or pipe

[azbigjohn]

I have struck out locally... I am trying to add some piping on my Reef Octopus NWB200 skimmer, and of course the plumbing is all metric (50mm size). CoralVue and BRS are all listed "out of stock" on the adapters to convert to 1 1/2" piping. Currently I just have a bunch of teflon tape acting as a bushing, but it is not maintaining adequate back pressure, so my adjustment of water level keeps fluctuating.

Anyone have any insight to where I can find adapters? Metric Plumbing supplies are evidently not a big seller in the Phoenix, AZ market, as even the Niche plumbing suppliers kind of laughed at me.

You can do a search for metric on their site and it will list everything metric. they even carry metric pipe.

I appreciate all the help, folks!

I did look and find the adapters on the flexPVC site... I had a weird thought, and went back tot he CoralVue site, and found out they did have 50mm pipe in stock, although not the adapters. Their price on the pipe was significantly lower than FlexPVC was. The killer on both was the shipping costs! Both sites wanted more to ship than they did for the parts!

But, alas, I need the parts, so, I paid the shipping!

you think that's bad, try ordering from those sites and getting it shipped to Canada lol
