    Home Dump says $2.39, Lowe's says $4.07 and its made by Streamline (Mueller)

    Even 3/4" propress adapter are less than $15.

    We are in a funny market. Some things the prices seam reasonable and somewhat in line with what you would expect.

    Other things are sky high.

    Like a 3/4 Male adapter price is reasonable but if you want a 3/4 male x 1/2" copper its sky high

    But scrap copper around here is like $4.50/lb.

    Supply House.com pricing is all over the place if you ask me.

    they had a pvc cutter posted for like $800 something dollars the other day that got shared on some other HVAC forum. I think they had a little pricing hiccup maybe?

    Notice it's the only Nibco fitting on the entire site? The Elkhart 3/4 male adapters at supplyhouse are $3.25 so something is goofy. They're bound to have some mistakes on occasion given the amount of product they have on hand. A few years back I needed some of those 1" stainless crimp sleeves for PEX and instead of $.50 each or whatever, it was $.05 so I ordered like a thousand of them knowing that they'd call my bluff and reach out to correct it but they never did. The pricing was fixed a few minutes after I ordered so they caught it, but they did send them all. I felt bad after they all showed up so I called and offered to send them back, but they told me to keep them. So if anybody needs 1" crimp sleeves…..
