Where to buy a 3/4" BSP Male threaded stainless running nipple in ireland

For reference: something like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BSP-LONG-Stainless-Steel-304-Running-Nipple-Threaded-Plumbing-Fitting-1-2-2/223131796840?var=&hash=item33f3b10568

or this 1/2" BSP fitting : https://www.brewbuilder.co.uk/1/2-bsp-40mm-nipple.html

There are a few sites/ebay shops that stock these, but they get funny about delivering to ireland.

I have a 3/4" BSP threaded fitting in my kettle and I am looking for this part so I can make a whirlpool arm. If it was a 1/2" part this would be easy, many HBS shops have them.

Only place I have found that does these is UK based, so that means £10+ P&P for a £3 part or some 'special arrangements'.

Apparently the customs mules with 3/4" body cavities are hard to come by.

AN online shop would be great, or a trade supplies shop in the waterford area that is known to have it (just wasted my lunchbreak trying to find one in waterford retail park).

So 3/4" BSP Male thread. Has to be stainless, and ideally 40mm, though I could get away with 25mm length I think. Has to be a continuous thread, not a barrel nipple or a hex nipple.

A lot of us have a parcel motel a/c to get delivery for UK address. Cost €3.95 but your delivery is listed N. Ireland so you get whatever UK delivery terms. Total stainless here in Dublin would stock these and if brass is ok then B&Q or Woodies have them.

Give www.flomax.ie a look they have sensible delivery charges on small orders (€6 iirc).

They stock a LOT of desirable goodies so buyer beware.

Thanks for the links guys. For reference flomax did not have the part, and I am not comfortable running hot wort through brass (but yeah, brass equivalents of this are very easy to get).

For reference most uk sites (say on ebay) are okay about delivering, but the delivery charges are pretty nasty (frequently £14+ for a £4 part).

I think I found an ebay site that will deliver for £6, which looks to be about the best possible deal, but I was getting spoiled with free shipping (until this part). Also my local homebase didnt stock it either. Woodies have them in brass: https://www.woodies.ie/catalogsearch/result/?q=running+nipple but no joy with B&Q and the trade supply stores didnt have them that I could see.

WOuld have been nice to checkout total stainless though. But no website.
