    Looks like 3/4" PVC, I haven't seen a cross connection on small bore PVC before. Not here anyway. You can get one similar but its a brass fitting, dia wont match up.

    The main suppler I know of would be HEVAC on the Nass Rd. You could try to call them. Not sure what you mean for retail. If your looking to buy in bulk HEVAC is the place to go. Smaller providers like Heatmerchants or DPL etc might not be interested.

    What kind of pipe are you talking about? If you purchased the pipe here, there should be some fittings available. If the fitting is not required to hold water etc maybe you can make some modifications to a brass fitting similar to the PVC one you require.

    Thanks for replies,
    it's 3/4" h.g water pipe, I got in morris's on the cork road in Waterford.

    pipes do not need to hold water, it's just to hold them in place. By for retail i mean not buying in trade or bulk.
    Where I bought the pipe only had brass firtings that were really expensive

    thanks

    Did morris's say the pipe is 3/4" heavy gauge? Well to me 3/4" heavy gauge is 1" outside dia plastic used on water mains etc.

    Brass is the most expensive, find out what the actual dia of the pipe is in millimeters and ring hevac, they might have some copper fittings avail you could adapt, also try ringing a local metal fabrication shop who makes gates, rails etc. They might have some metal fittings you could adapt.

    Hi,
    the out side diameter is 1.1 inches approx
    i found cheap ($2 each) 1" 4 way cross connectors (PVC) on an American site but I'm not sure if theY deliver here. I only need about 10 of them and would rather get them here or the uk if possible.

    Thanks

    I knew by the way you described 3/4" hg should have been 1" pipe etc.

    1" is a fairly common size, you should be able to find something here in the metal working industry that can adapt to your needs. Before looking abroad try to source a gate/rail fabricator, could point you in the right direction before looking abroad. Best of luck.
