Anyone know a good source for black PVC fittings? Mostly looking for adapters, those seem to be the most difficult to find.

Like for example I need 1" adapter to screw into bulkhead and then allow for my loc-line 3/4 to go into that. I have found everything I need in white PVC, but I really don't want to paint it as in the past it never really stood up long term.

Thanks
 
I seem to recall Jehmco has quite a bit
 
Why not paint them? Way easier.

That is a good idea, but what about in the tank? I have used paint on PVC before in the tank and it did not hold up. What I need is something that screws into 1" bulkhead so I can then screw in a loc-line spliter that is 3/4. I have found what I need in sch 40 white, but I really want black. The paint I used before was suggested for plastic.
 
You might be thinking of abs fittings? Still schedule 40, just only in black as I am aware; no grey, white, red ,etc.
 
Something like this but 3/4fpt?

edit: it is sch80, and I see its poly.. not abs, which I also see comes in green.

edit2: don't see it with 3/4fpt, but locline has their connector in fpt
