I am looking for a good place to buy in bulk end feed and capillary fittings, I have looked at BES but don't think they are very cheap can anyone recommend anywhere please.
 
Try Williams, not always the cheapest though!
 
IF you want decent ones get yorkshire branded end feed ones
 
Do you need to buy in bulk ? just means you have loads of stock sitting around, unless you have a high volume of work its not always worth the outlay.

Agree , I used to by too much in bulk , but have stopped now , however generally buy of JTM plumbing , good value and superb delivery
 
I just thought it would work out cheaper to buy in bulk and I would not have to keep going to merchants for just 1 item
its awkward when there is no local merchant where your working

I use the Stanley storage box's and find they hold enough for every day use (common fittings 15 & 22) if you get the deep case its surprising how meny they hold, larger jobs just buy extra as needed, and you don't save that much buying in bulk, + you tend to loose quite a lot rolling around in the van

Ive been doing some book work today and I have found Williams not cheap at all. Local builders merchants that we use for example are 25% cheaper in the same month for everyday material such as pipe and fittings I was surprised today when I looked and found that screwfix are £20 cheaper for a pack copper

Isn’t there copper thin though?
 
ALso, if you buy too many they become severely tarnished (oxidised) and you end up spending daft time cleaning them properly so the solder flows cleanly every time.

I agree with everyone else. Keep a stock qty then buy additional as needed. Cheap ones WILL fail you for all manner of reasons BUT the most expensive are also rarely worth it IMHO. Find what you like and stick to 'em.
