Hey everyone,
All I want to do is install an element in my brew kettle, which I thought would be simple; however, I've called every manufacturer and distributor I can think of in Canada looking for a 1" Stainless Steel lock nut (Home Depot, Lowes, Rona, Home Hardware, Brafasco, Acklands Grainger, Noble, etc) and nobody's got them. They've all told me the only place I'll be able to get one is McMaster Carr, and they won't ship one to Canada unless I'm on a business account with a certain dollar value. I've tried contacting Bargain Fittings and ordering their $9 locknut/o-ring combo, but they won't ship it to Canada for less than $25 for some very murky "customs" reason.
Short of driving 300 kilometres across the border, does anyone have any ideas where I might find one?
