Basic plumbing stuff at Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, True Value... bulkheads at Drs F&S, BRS, Marine Depot...
You can find better quality plumbing stuff online, but you pay quite a premium for it IMHO.

I'm looking for true union ball valves and can't find squat locally...

Will order bulkheads on BRS probably.

Your local plumbing supply will have a lot of schedule 80 true unions and things that Lowes and HD don't

Honestly, though, BRS sells some great stuff.
