I need to build a immersion chiller and I was wondering where do you guys get your copper tubing?

Rona was the cheapest I could find. I forget the price, but it was about half the price I could find anywhere else, I'm thinking about $30 for 50' of 3/8"

I got mine at Kent. It was the best price I could find around here - no Rona. Though if you're already in Moncton, Home Depot might be cheaper. Princess Auto in Moncton might carry some too.

Rona is the cheapest in town. I think their 25' 3/8" is somewhere between $25-30. The 50' 3/8" is $55. All they had was the 50' 3/8" when I called around the other week. No 1/2". You should call the one in Halifax to see what they have in stock.

Home Depot has 3/8" as well, 20' for $30. Canadian tire has the same for $31.46.

I think the only 1/2" CT sells is in 10' lengths which sucks.

I wanted 1/2" for my immersion chiller but all I could find here was 3/8". Maybe there is a refrigeration or plumbing supply place with better options / price?

The cheapest in your town maybe. Graham & us marsh dwellers don't have a Rona. The gas money to drive to Elmsdale or Shediac doesn't really make it cheap anymore.
