Steel tube connectors wanted....

[slim_boy_fat]

Guys, I'm looking for a couple of 90 degree connectors [ib black]for connecting 1" steel tubing, like part number IP144610 in this link .http://www.ukofficedirect.co.uk/square-tube-connector-2-way-prd_IP144610.aspx.

I don't mind the cost of the connectors, but I grudge the carraige. We get hammered up here all the time, to the extent that I've refused to buy stuff in the past because "UK mainland" doesn't apparently mean that..... Sorry for the rant.....

Anyone know where I can buy these "over-the-counter", say from national 'shed' warehouses?

Done Google but can't see anything. I'm near Inverness.

Or a pipe fitting company?

There are a couple, but I suspect it's just steel/pipe they hold and not small fittings etc. I can ask next time I'm in town.

Try this fresh link http://www.ukofficedirect.co.uk/square-tube-connector-2-way-prd_IP144610.aspx, seems i had an extraneous dot at the start of the original somehow.

Google throws up a place in Lanarkshire here. It might not cost as much for them to post to you.

Thanks guys, getting them posted for £5.

Spoke too soon lads.

Just had an email from source to say that because of where I live they would have to charge an additional £30.........[making delivery £35 total].

Is this country completely bonkers or what?

Anyway, back to the search.......

Not that I blame you, for living where you do (the old man lives in Helmsdale) But you chose to live there, you can't expect a delivery company to possibly drive 20-30-40-50miles there and back out into the sticks to deliver one parcel, for 5quid.

Is there not someone closer to a big town you go to, that could take packages in, until you collect.

Got an ARCO up there? They may be able to get them.

Dont you have highland industrial supplies up there ? worth a try ?

I was in B&Q earlier, they had 1" tube connectors in stock... not cheap but if you only need a few and it saves silly postage, might be worth a look. In hardware, near the metal mesh, alloy angle and so on. I don't suppose their shop layouts vary much.

Do R.S. surcharge for Highland deliveries? If not R.S. may be a possibility, never cheep but free delivery when you order over £20 eases the pain.

Thanks for the suggestions lads.

Just to update, got them from www.richardsonsuk.co.uk for £2.50 each + carraige at £8.50 + VAT £2.70 = £16.20 all in.

Parcelforce up to 25kg is only about a tenner though


I know you're now sorted, but Caledonian Sheet Metal would either have them, or be able to get them in
