Default SS Weld el suppliers

So Im looking for US made SS weld els in New England or the east coast. I used to order from McMaster for all my weld els but for a while now they're all from China. I found a local guy for a slight price increase that sells ones made in the US. Unfortunately he is closing his doors in a few weeks and I need to find another supplier.

I have NEVER seen US or Canadian-made weld els! Good to know they exist, but how much do they normally cost?

I was paying $8.30 for a 1 1/2" 90* 2 1/4" height. The US ones are much nicer, when you hit them with the wire wheel they're smooth unlike the Chinese ones that look like a fat woman's *** after she sat in gravel.

You should be able to get these from any big Stainless supplier, we only buy North American made elbows and tubing. Chinese **** is just that.

Yeah, umm, got it, googled them, sites are not very user friendly, would be nice to put a price to a company as well as shipping as some of them are outside the continental US. That’s all. Unless you saw something I didn’t, I’m not the most internet savvy.
