There was a good hardware store in Dallas called Elliots and I would go there to buy brass fittings. Also, I've ordered stainless and brass fittings from Swage-Lok and McMaster-Carr, respectively. I was wondering if there is a local hardware store here in Raleigh with a good selection. Home Depot and Lowes may carry some fittings for specific home plumbing applications, but not extensive enough. For example, I'm looking for 3/8" and 1/2" - - MPT, FPT, barbed, and compression - - - stainless and brass.
Yeah. I went to Fergusons the other day based on that exact thread, and all I could find was larger diameter stuff. Lots of larger diameter steel, copper, and PVC pipe and associated fittings. I went to the one in Apex, so maybe that wasn't a good one to go to?

I thought they dealt mostly in larger tools, but maybe the Northern Tool in South Hills would be worth trying?
Grainger is good, but can you just walk in off the street and browse/buy? I thought they were the type of place that you told a guy behind the counter what you wanted and he went to the back of the store to get it. Maybe they only did company accounts?
Has anyone been to Burke Brothers hardware on Hillsboro St by the fairgrounds? I've driven by a few times and they seem to be an old-fashioned hardware store that might sell this type of item.
I have no idea if Burke Brothers sells what you are specifically looking for, but my dad has been shopping there since I was a little kid. He LOVES that place. I'd give them a call and if they don't sell it, I'll bet they'll know who does.
I would also try Raleigh's oldest Hardware store- Briggs. Burke Brothers is great as well.
