I am looking for high quality fittings and ball valves and things like that. I am not satisfied with the selections at places like big box stores and such.

Are there any places that make or sell cool fittings like long radius elbows, or really good check valves?

I don't know of any PVC 90's that are long sweep for water supply. I see the typical 90 and 45's.
PVC can't be used inside the home. You can use CPVC, PEX, or copper.
You can use PVC underground as a water supply.

As far as quality of the ABS and PVC pipe and fittings are concerned, I don't think there is any difference in those in big box stores and professional plumbing supply houses.

Thanks, I have been wondering about the 90s for a while (for aquariums). I guess I will be using CPVC around the house then.

Cool, I was wondering about that.
