My Stainless Steel Score

Sawdustguy · 01-22-2010, 08:46 PM

I am almost finished collecting fittings for re-plumbing my brewery in all stainless steel. I got the Tri-Clovers from Swagman and I think I may order another 6 pairs. I have been purchasing Swagelok fittings on Ebay for a few months. I have about 32 fittings shown and just purchased the last 5 fittings I will need. I spent $219.00 total on the Swagelok fittings which is about 1/4 of what I would have had to pay if I had to buy them retail. They are all new and the total for shipping came to about $52.00.

Wow very nice! I have a similar collection piling up in my garage, I just need a few straight and 90 deg 1/2" swagelok and I'm good to go. It's so expensive to buy only a couple fittings on ebay, they kill you on shipping and handling!

The shipping was not too bad. Thank God for USPS flat rate shipping. I added up the shipping charges for the whole shebang and it came to a touch more than $50. When you consider I paid less than $275 for the 37 fittings I spent about a quarter of what I would have to have paid retail and all the fittings are new.
