Chinese PVC?

[JimmyR1rider]

Anyone know where to get chinese PVC? I just got a Bubble Magus BM 160 external skimmer and the PVC discharge pipe is Chinese and is between 1" & 1 1/4" PVC. I wanted to get a reducer and smaller T so I can fit it in the small bubble trap in my sump so it'll be slightly below the water line and be quiet as I can get it to be.

Thanks in advance

Doesn't Lowes have parts both in metrics and the US std. ?
I used to get nylon screws from that are metric system.

I was in there the other day Wingo and I only found standard. I may check Home Depot again, who knows maybe I need stronger glasses lol.

Lowes and HD do not have metric sized PVC piping. Hard to get locally.

I doubt HD has any, I tried many times in various locations too including Kansas and Florida :biglaugh:

I would say try a pluming supply house might be your best bet.

you are going to have a very hard time trying to find metric plumbing parts here in NY.
What you can do is get a clear hose that will fit tightly on the outside diameter of the 2 pieces of pvc (1 being metric, and the other being sae). boil a cup of water and sandwich the 2 pieces of pipe with the hose. hope this helps.

The other think you can do is either bore out 1, or sand down the other.
