Hi! Need some help where to get this grey PVC ball valve for reef octopus skimmer. It is leaking and I need to replace it with exactly the same valve, because one is stuck into the skimmer and is not removable.

I tried the shop in Thywhitt rd but seems the shop is not there anymore... Anyone knows other shops in east or central that has this? Pls help. Tks.

thanks LittleBurger, will try span aquarium.

The other end of the valve is stuck to the skimmer and cannot be removed, so replacement will have to be the same thread size. I had tried other ball valve brands but the thread does not fit exactly.
