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.

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

Well, they wanted $40-60 a piece for them. So, I ended up just using the
slipxslip ($15) and a slip x male threaded adapter -- it did end up
requiring some more rework to make up the extra room but I ended up
saving about $60 on the pair.
