Is a 1" copper union slip x mips commonly available?

I couldn't find it at Home Depot or at a couple of the online stores
that I searched. They only had slip x fips or slip x slip.

Thanks



They are Nibco series #733-4, all they way up thru 2 1/2" size.

That looks like EXACTLY what I need.

But you're going to have to visit a real supply house.


I plan on hitting a major Boston-area plumbing supply house Monday
morning - would it tend to be a stock item or would even they need to
special order it?



Usually Monday morning is the worst day for an amateur to visit a supply
house. All of the pros come in and the counter people will take care of
them first and won't want to be bothered with your questions. I suggest an
afternoon visit later in the week to get more attention and respect. It's
good to have the brand and part number.
