So I'm trying to build a pro reservoirs

I need to get a few pro drainage kit valves

The problem is I'm in canada and for shipping for 3 valves is over 100$
iv been searching all over for something else that would do the same thing and I'm sure it's probably easy to build one but my brain is not working tonight and I can't seem to find anything, I'm probably not searching the right part name or something, if anyone could point me in the right direction would be awesome or if anyone is selling them let me know, thanks

Surely Canada has hardware stores? These are not custom made valves, they have been poached from a home irrigation system.

Also look aside from the irrigation fittings isle at the hardware store, check rain water tank fittings, I'd expect bulkhead tap fittings like this to be fairly common.

Yeah we have hardware stores I'm in the bush working so I was hoping to just order one so it would be there when I got home, and if not I was just going to go and find the parts but I wasn't sure the exact name of it, I was searching drain/shutoff valves and all I was finding was threaded valves, nothing that would be good for the tank I had, bulkhead tap fitting, I that's what I needed to know, thanks

I don't know why anyone would buy that system. You can get everything at your local home improvement store including a set of hole saws to cut the holes for much less. It's just cheap totes with holes in it right?

Maybe I should start selling these on eBay at half the price...I can operate a drill with a hole saw bit......

It is just a tote with 6 holes in the lid and that valve at the bottom, i was giving one from a friend I wouldn't buy one either, I'm trying to make another reservoir that will auto fill the water into my tank in my grow box so I don't always have to be lifting the lid up when I have plants growing in there , and I was hoping to order those bulkhead tap fittings online they were only like 10 bucks but to ship 3 to canada shipping was gonna be like 120$ so yeah hardware store I go when I fly back home
