Today I got a box from Summit in which 3 of the
four backordered pieces, were either wrong or the
catalog info false (I am trying to construct a nitrous
setup using all steel, just because I don't trust Home
Depot grade brass fittings at 1200PSI). I ordered some
steel 1/8 street elbows ($8 a pop) and got Home Depot
looking brass ones in a NOS blister-pack with the same
number, that Summit said were nickel plated steel.
Brass fittings from China are usually worth no more
than $2. Have I mentioned lately that Summit licks *****?
So I was in Ace Hdwr today for other stuff and I come
across a whole rack, of stainless plumbing hardware
that includes 1/8" NPT stuff - all kinds of fittings and
all about $3 a pop. So I loaded up. Check it out, the
packages were all Ace branded blister packs so I
figure it's chain-wide.
If only Ace carried -AN fittings....
