How long do these guys take to get an order out? I place my order monday last week and it still says "received" in the order status page. They don't respond to emails either.

Anyone ever dealt with them before? My Omega is waiting on there stuff...

where do you live? the place is in Utah. and they give you a tracking number. I buy all my 4" pressure rated fittings from them (not anymore, I've found a local place with just as much stuff available). I have received everything when they said it would get here. check for a tracking number. I believe they email it to you, but cant remember. you will get your stuff.

The didn't send me any emails about it being shipped out. The status page still says "received."

Underneath it says "order will be shipped within business days from date of purchase" what the hell does that mean? how many business days?

My order cost $154 and I live in NJ.

It's costing so much because it's all pressure rated stuff and it's 4 inch. Most parts are made by DURA.. which is like the best there is.

And I'm building this fancy breech gizmo and a really cool firing setup for the back end.

No, Spears it the best. Dura fittings require a hammer to get in the socket, ALWAYS. They also have large injection mold marks. The Spears fittings have little or no marks and are very precise.

not the ones I got.

they fit perfectly. NO HAMMER REQUIRED. EVER

sorry my solvent welding was cruddy. I figure, why not use a little more primer, and a lot more glue, for an even yet larger sense of safety? I mean, I was just going to paint it in the spring.
the fittings had one small mark on the middle of side. all edges, and the inside and outside were smooth. not only that, the fittings I got had small braces built in. the one on the valve fit perfect. the one under the valve fit perfect. the elbows are spears, and If you were to sand off the logo, you would be hard pressed to distinguish which is which. have you even used them before?

other than the obvious one in the first pic, mind pointing out the rough injection marks you claim are on the fittings, spudstuff? :wink:
