I'm after about 30x of each of the following, 25mm or 32mm
Tried a couple places... prices are crazy so i though i'd see if anyone knows where i can get them for a realistic price. The strainer fittings especially are hard to find!

Should have asked me  BOC Mining Supplies (usually attached to BOC Gas and Gear) have both of those items. The 32mm bulkhead fitting will be around $14 or so, and the strainer would be around $10. |

Bunnings have the standard Hansen fittings, around the $10 mark creativepumps.com.au have the barbed elbows, and also hansen fittings. not sure on the price havent seen the strainers. though practicalquaponics.net has metal female thread strainers. if you want lots of through tank fittings, you may be best off buying lengths of threaded poly that you can cut to lenght, and buying nuts and washers seperately. creativepumps can help out with this too. |

Irrigation and hydro shops have the strainers... as do major plumbing suppliers... at least around here they do... |

I tried two irrigation suppliers, a tank supplier and bunning for the strainers, none had a clue! i only found them at one aquarium shop. Buying a bunch of threaded lengths might do the trick.. didnt think of that cheers. |

lol.... I use strainers to stop the gravel from coming out of the growbeds. I got them from Total Eden. They can selll them in bulk but I'm not sure of the price. They do have the other 2 things if you weren't able to find them elsewhere... Total Eden is expensive but they usually order the irrigation stuff that most places don't have. |

What you're after are known as "Hansen" fittings... Try Wetearth.... they carry most things at a reasonable price, and post anywhere for a fair price... http://www.wetearth.com.au/Threaded-Nyg ... d-Fittings http://www.wetearth.com.au/Barbed-Nyglass-Tank-Outlets Couldn't find an exact match for the second... but talk to them... these are close... http://www.wetearth.com.au/Product/Prod ... uctID=2630 http://www.wetearth.com.au/Threaded-Nyg ... ale-Female http://www.wetearth.com.au/Threaded-Nyglass-Elbows And the last is known as a "foot" valve screen... this isn't the "Hansen" like you pictured, which I'm sure they'll have... but close enough... http://www.wetearth.com.au/Product/Prod ... uctID=1183 I've used these guys before... and they usually post pretty quickly... and their pricing is usually better than most other suppliers... |

not to hijack the thread, but just in case anyone cares, i can vouch for wetearth as well. just ordered all the 40mm pressure fittings for my system. at least half the price of anyone else (except maybe sisters staff pricing at reece). postage reasonable. sent within two days, very good operators. cheers Jason |
