    Most 18wheeler places are open 24hours and their parts desks normally have the fittings I need if I'm in a bind. I normally call Joe first unless it's real late, he always has the spare stuff I need.

    Local industrial supply shops, 18 wheeler shops, hydraulic hose shops these are all better and usually cheaper than any homedepot or lowes.

    Hell, I would never even consider Home Depot or Lowe's for fittings like that.

    Only fittings I use from there are hex pipe nipples, that's it.

    Home Depot and Lowes are not DOT approved, they are for home applications, hence the reason they're at a home supply store.
