Default where to get cheap reducers

i need 3 reducers cause i thought it was a good idea to try 2" charge pipes for space saving and cause i thought my damn srt fmic had smaller then 2.5 in/outs but it seems to be 2.5 or 2.25

every site online wants $20+ and ebay its like $17+ a piece

anyone know a good place besides the toilet section at the store?

Not technically the toilet section; home depot plumbing section works wonders.

did you use 2.5 or 2.25" on yours? my 2.5" couplers i was trying in it seemed a little too loose to be the right size

lol, i've seen items from ACE HARDWARE get returned to the HD I work at...the retruns girls are complete idiots. Hell, I've seen a 10-foot section of 1" copper (at the time $50) returned... with half of the pipe missing!!

Actually, you want to get the 2.0" couplers for 2.5" piping. Its made for sch40 pipe, meaning its 2" ID, ~2.5" OD. I use them on my chargepipe pressure testing stuff, and if the pipe isn't beaded/etc, it will BLOW off at 15psi, no matter how tight I get the clamp (worm or t-bolt).
