I was going to use a Vetus but you talked into the Centrex. Plus I had a gift certificate to SBO. When I began looking on the SBO site I was impressed with what they have. Many unusual items you won't find elsewhere. But of course I'm a Hamilton regular for years.

Hamilton does have the elbow. I think D'Arcy is out of state.
