Fittings supplier

[mtnone]

Does any have a supplier for hoses, fittings (garolla, tri-clamp, ect), and valves.

I know St.Pats has some stuff, but I wanted to see if there was another supplier that was recommended. It seems I can find pieces here and there, but I would like to order everything from one place.

http://www.mcmaster.com was an awesome resource for us when assembling our setup, from distillation down to bottling. They don't offer the best price on everything....super specialized pieces like steam hose can be source for a much better price from a suppler who specializes in hoses only. And since every distillery setup is unique, unless you are ordering a turn key setup from the big still makers (bavarian holstein, christian carl, etc) it may be a challenge to source everything from one single supplier.

Good Luck.

GW Kent.com has all the stuff

I order from McMaster almost every week. As far as Tri-Clover stuff they DO NOT have the best prices on that sort of thing nor do they have a variety of Tri-Clover stuff, they have the most basic things. But on the whole McMaster carries everything else in the world and 80% of it is better priced than most other stores. You'll find the occasional pump or motor that's way more expensive but mostly it's pretty good pricing. P.S. McMaster has, BY FAR, the best navigation and search engine for finding parts than any other website in the world. It freakin' rocks. Plus there shipping and fulfillment is very quick.

Internet wise the best place is St.Pats and their prices are decent.

Locally, and I'm sure they'll ship, the most reasonable prices around here, especailly Tri-Clover gaskets (Viton and Silicon) is Stainless Solutions. Look at the bottom for a list of companies I've made a list of that carry Tri-Clover. Ebay has some great deals but most of the time my local guy is cheaper.

http://www.stainlesssolutions.biz/ (Local to me and the one I use with the best prices.)

http://www.peiequipment.com/ (Also local and has alright prices, but has lots of other things, such as hoses and can crimp them on to fittings.)

http://www.jmesanitary.com/Results.aspx?manufacturerid=100 (Expensive and very hard to navigate.)

I've ordered these parts from stpats, mcmaster and gwkent -- until i discovered glacier tank (http://www.glaciertanks.com/) their prices are the best I've found to date and their customer service is excellent.

For slightly more obscure fittings... I'd have to agree with the sheer awesomeness of mcmasters search feature and selection.

Lastly, artisancopperworks.com sells some pretty cool stuff. Not a huge selection but worth checking out what they've got. You might find something that you didn't know you needed till you see it. I've picked up some 2" copper flanges and a sight glass.

I just checked out glaciertanks and can confirm their prices are pretty good, better than what I can get.

I used GVC.net recently. It went smoothly. They have some more obscure things like orifice 'gaskets'.
