Cast Iron Tub Supplies
I have a cast iron tub with exposed plumbing that goes down to the floor. I want to replace the existing plumbing with nice shiny stuff. Currently I have PVC drain piping that comes out of the tub to and through the floor. I have a galvanized iron hot water pipe that runs up from the floor to the back of the faucet. I have cold water PVC that comes out of the floor, connecting to standard flexible hose that connects via GI elbow to the cold water faucet. So. I need new supply piping and drain piping from the floor to the tub. Where is the best place to get that?
Try Bucks in Sulpher Springs (nebraska). when I had a rental building that had clawfoot tubs they were the only company that I could find that carried the new hot/cold handles and the socket to get them off and the shower curtin ring in stock.
ReplyDeleteEbay, when I redid my bathroom and kitchen, claw foot tub and sink fixtures, I purchased them all on ebay. Saved money and bought first quality. Was super experience.
ReplyDeleteCourse I also bought my ceilings, my bamboo floors, my vessel sink, and light fixtures there too!
My plumber got some of our supplies from Buck's. The rest I got from Clawfoot Supply online.
