Re: [TCML] primary voltage

[nancylavoie@xxxxxxxxxxx]

When copper prices hit an all time high,my local store actually had it locked up and customers had to request a clerk to get it for them.Perhaps you simply still have to ask at your store. Keep in mind this is usually sold in the PVC fittings section of all the Home Depots I have been in (4 or 5). Wyatt

Or check with customer service in each store... they can usually special order it for you.
Or order it on-line from either store's website.
