When i was doing my build i found "Heatcraft" to be excellent, its a refrigeration shop that mainly deals with tradies but will sell to anyone. Price was great even tho i was a no-one. every thing from as small as 6mm (1/4") copper tee's, elbows, couplers reducers etc. up to quite large. Only problem is that 2" copper isn't a gas line size so it goes to 2 1/4" i think.

If you're in brisbane I have found Conduit in Kelvin Grove to be great. They have a large range of copper at reasonable prices.

Carrington http://www.carringtonproducts.com.au/ are cheap and good to deal with.
They don't have the wanker attitude like some suppliers seem to.

I got 1m of 2" (Crane Type A 50.8mm) cut for $36 with a $5 cutting fee, 2" (DN50) 90 bends for $7.50 and 3" to 2" (DN80 to DN50) reducers for $8.
They also bend up coils in copper and do a few other things.

Years ago I rung carrington to enquire about price and availability and what you have said was like what I was told over phone ....I never ended up buying off them but wish in hindsight I had.

Pleased for you that they
were true to word ...I would

that ..cheers
