The big box stores don't stock well parts other than pumps, pressure tanks, switches, a few fittings. Local home store was more like leftovers.

I think the latest failure was due to the spring earthquake here. 2 months later the fitting split off. So it took a shake, and it was not packed with mud which probably allowed for more vibration. I was trying to protect it from the downward pressure of the soil.

High Density Polyethylene = HDPE. Hard, dense, strong plastic.
