I am looking for a supplier of clear pvc pipe in San Antonio. Does anyone know of one here or close to San Antonio?

Thank you.

You won't find PVC, but you will find acrylic. There are two main acrylic supply places in town and they are both in the phone book. Trick is to make sure you get the correct acrylic tubing size that will fit PVC fittings if that is what you are after. Probably also important to make sure to use the right solvent (weldon #40?).

Yeah, aquaticeco.com also has it, but it's expensive, $3 to $52 per foot depending on which diameter (1/2in to 6in) you want. More expensive than buying the same diameter acrylic tubing which is easier to find. Just have to make sure it is the same outside diameter so it fits the PVC connectors properly.

Depending on how many inches (or feet) you need, just remember: A lot of the online vendors sell it at a minimum of 5-6 feet per order.
