I saw some at OSH off of San juan and Greenback Ln. - picked up a 1- 1/2" there the other day. I think there was 1 - 1/4" as well.
I would call them first to be sure they had it.

Savko has both gate valves and ball valves and they both work well for me. WAY cheaper than anything we found in town even with shipping.
They have full-union ball valves, very nice when you need to service a pump.

Savko is great. I will be ordering some good ball valves from them in the next few days.
There Flex PVC price is also unbeatable |

Ok i installed the gatevalve on the exhaust side of the skimmer. But even with the valve all the way open the collection cup fills up very fast. Any one know whats causeing this? Is the exhause stand pipe to high is that what affects the waterline inside the skimmer?
