    PVC Fitting Storage

    Looking for good way to store PVC fittings. Going back to the big box store is a real time killer for me. So when I buy PVC fittings I always buy a few extra to have on hand and maybe avoid a trip the next time I need one. I like to be able to grab a bucket of stuff and go rather than having to remember everything I need. Right now I keep a 5 gallon bucket of fittings with the primer, glue and cutter. Fittings are stored in ziplok bags by size and type. The fittings I need are always at the bottom of the bucket along with the glue. So I have to empty the whole bucket to get what I need. Looking for ideas to improve on the bucket.

      I've just got the bucket for 1/2" and another for 3/4" and another for 1". If I used those things every day I might think of something else.

                I use the clear totes with lids from lowes. It's alot easier to access and view what's located inside.
                I also have Teflon tape, tape measure with the other items you've listed

                    I have a couple of Old Type ( Nail Boxes ) Totes. that I built a little bigger for PVC fittings

                    Think of Junior High Shop Class projects.

                      I use these, they hold a lot of stuff and are moveable.

                        clear plastic flat tub.

                        Just make sure you tighten your glue when you drop everything in the tub.

                        or you will end up and a tub full of glued parts. and have to start all over.

                              They sell some trays you can drop in a 5gal bucket. One per size would work.
