Do we have a list of places to get cheap plumbing?

Went to Bunnings bought 9M of 50mm pressure pipe and got robbed $60. I did quick look on google and they are going for like $15 for 6M bunnings $40 for the same. Only reason why i got it was my wife went to work early and i wanted to get nagged only once not twice (got gravel too delivered too )

The T sections are like $9 each and other parts are all $6-8. Does anyone know if there are any cheap retailers in sydney for these things?

wow bunnings is about 3 fold increase in prices (T is 2.36)

try a dedicated plumbing supplies retailer, would have to be cheaper than B

Make sure of the right pressure rating when buying pipe, we only use class 9, you can get higher classes and they are way more expensive.

Also Bunnings bases it's prices on how much something sells, you might find that 40mm fittings are really cheap because they sell lots. I know 32mm is VERY expensive.

bunnings normally have class 9 and class 12 pipe. class12 is very expensive compared to the other one.

and it seems that 25mm and 40mm pressure fittings are much cheaper than 32mm equivalents.

I got most of my fittings from wetearth.com.au, and most of the lengths of pipe from closer to home (still like to support the local guy where reasonable to do so).

Thanks guys.

The pipes i got was 50mm PN9 pipes. Yes i saw its cheaper when i have the 40mm fittings. Im going to go to a plumbing co opp store hopefully i get trade prices.

Is this reasonable?

50mm T piece pressure pipe fitting reducing to 25mm is $25 each from plumbing co op?

What? Should be more like $5...

Go to Reece, or Tradelink.... and yeah... 40mm prices are lots cheaper... even so shouldn't cost you more than $10....

Here ya go.. "wetearth" seems to have a special... http://www.wetearth.com.au/Product/Prod ... ductID=836

And they'll charge you the same freight.. whether you buy one... or fifty...

I think Pipeonline website you had actually can send over to you... You will find that shops with an online presence you can get fittings cheaper, but you need to know what you want...
