Advice Please - 40mm Solvent Weld in Black inc Tank connectors?

[bilabonic]

Hi All

I currently have a Koi set up and it's all done with Toolstation push fit connectors (these are an odd size and different to polypipe ones, the ends have a 'clip' that holds the rubber seal in).

I have emptied the system due to leaks popping up all over the place, i have elbows, Tee's plus tank connectors all in black.

I want to upgrade to solvent weld if possible but i am finding it hard to source parts, especially the 40mm Tank Connections.

Can anyone advise on a stockist or even somewhere online, Ebay has some listings but i am confused by sizing etc, plus prices are expensive.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Best to find somewhere that does commercial or able to order direct from poly with no min order

So is it Polypipe who mainly do solvent weld in this size?
I have a local Plumbase and a City Plumbing, their websites do not list Tank Connectors??

Shall i ring them tomorrow and see if they can supply? Do i mention Polypipe brand??

Thanks

That's brill, going direct to Polypipe is a great idea.

Why does that TC not show any seals/washers on the compression side? Is this normal, are they extra's??

yep unfortunately these days everything is an extra or not my problem so you might have to find some rubber and plastic washers to match
