These are a real basic item for plumbers, so they should carry them. I have even seen them at Home Depot. Stinger (in reply to Marko) Post #: 4

I have had absolutly no luck finding them in 6" diameter. I have called 4 of the "big" supply houses in the Chicago area with no luck. Guess I will keep looking. Thanks for the help guys.

When I bought mine, I lived in a rural area in one of Hawaii's outer islands. Hey, fellow members can anyone out there who lives near Marko help him find a 6" test plug?

Another place had some for $35.00 each. I cant beleive they are so rare around here. I asked about 8" and both places said no way. (in reply to stinger haut) Post #: 7

RE: 6" PVC test plugs - 10/20/2006 7:37:25 PM    stinger haut   Posts: 517 Joined: 6/7/2006 Status: offline Hi Marko, Glad to hear that you found your 6" plug. 8" test plugs are hard to come by because most houses don't have any 8" pipe in them. A commerical plumbing supply would have the larger test plug sizes. If they are that hard to find, maybe you should buy a few. They do wear out over time. There are always businesses that specialize for bottle tumbling supplies and parts, the JarDoctor is one of them. They usually have what you need for tumbling. Hey, let everyone know how it goes.

RE: 6" PVC test plugs - 10/23/2006 4:32:51 PM    gglockhart   Posts: 3 Joined: 7/29/2004 Status: offline Try McMaster Carr for test plugs. They have really small to really large ones. They are an industrial supply catalog but I have ordered from them. You will also find all kinds of cylinders. They can be accessed on line. Good Luck (in reply to Marko) Post #: 9
