E-commerce · Plumbing & Bathroom Products
The plumber needs forty fittings in three sizes, and the page lists them as one product.
A plumber on a site reads a drawing and writes a list. Half-inch elbows, three-quarter tees, so many metres of pipe, solvent cement, a ball valve. The list goes to a dealer who answers by phone. If the dealer's website cannot answer a list, it is not in the comparison.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
In one paragraph
Pipes and fittings are the CPVC, UPVC, PPR, HDPE and GI pipes with the elbows, tees, unions and valves that join them, bought mostly by plumbers and contractors on a job. GullySales builds one row for each size and connection, separates hot water from cold and drainage lines, and takes quotations by bill of quantities.
A homeowner reaches these pages only when a joint leaks or a bathroom is being redone, and they need the size, the type and how to be sure it is the one that was there before.

Who it is for
This is written for you if you sell pipes & fittings online.
- Manufacturers of CPVC, UPVC, PPR and HDPE pipes and fittings who sell through dealers
- Dealers who supply plumbers and builders by the length and the carton
- Sellers of valves, couplers and repair fittings to maintenance teams
- Importers of specialist fittings for water treatment and irrigation lines
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Sellers who cannot state the pipe material and the use for each line. The buyer must know whether it is for hot water, cold water or drainage.
- A business that wants to advise homeowners on plumbing design. A plumber does that, and we will not write it.
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of pipes & fittings.
Material by the use
Hot and cold water supply, drainage, and agricultural lines use different materials. CPVC and PPR are asked for on supply lines, and drainage uses its own pipe. The buyer decides by use, and the page must name each.
Nominal size and the joint
A size is called by its diameter, and the joint is solvent welded, threaded or fused. A tee of the right size and the wrong joint will not fit what is on the wall.
Length, bundle and carton
Pipe is sold by length and bundle, fittings by the piece and the carton. A contractor compares the rate per piece at the carton, and the dealer who states it is the easiest to compare.
Brand and the dealer who backs it
A plumber names a make and wants a dealer who will replace a faulty batch. Who stands behind the product on the site is a question plumbers do ask.
Where sales are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell pipes & fittings online.
In the words sellers use on the first call.
“The plumber orders by phone because the site cannot take a list”
A buyer with forty lines of sizes and fittings will not add each to a cart. A request that takes the list as typed or photographed is the one that gets used.
“Buyers order the right size in the wrong joint”
Threaded against solvent weld is not obvious from a photograph. Joint type in the title and a labelled diagram would save the second trip.
“Our listings do not say hot or cold”
A buyer renovating a bathroom is asking whether it is for the geyser line. If the page does not say, they ask someone else.
“Every dealer in town has the same brand at a similar price”
The difference is stock, speed and delivery to the site. A page that states what is held and when it can arrive is the only differentiator.
The scope
The work we would propose for pipes & fittings.
Measured on purchases and, for trade buyers, qualified enquiries, quotation requests and repeat orders. Anything here that needs a platform or tool we have not used with you is confirmed in the audit before it goes in the scope.
- Size, joint and use tablesOne table per family showing nominal size, joint type, material and use (hot supply, cold supply, drainage). Every row carries the size as the plumber says it.
- Bill-of-quantities enquiryA form or upload that takes a list of sizes and counts, with delivery pincode and the date the site needs it, and returns a single quotation.
- Stock and delivery statementA reply that states stock position and delivery for each line, sent by an owner who is named for the enquiry.
- Dealer and distributor enquiryFor makers: a route for dealers in a town to ask for the price list, and a follow-up for each.
- Local search for the yardMaps profile, delivery area and photographs, so a contractor near the site finds a nearby dealer.
What we do
What you get for pipes & fittings.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
A fittings index by size and joint
Every fitting in one table with its joint type and use. It is what a plumber wants in a pocket.
A list-upload quotation page
A page that takes typed or photographed lists. It reduces the phone traffic and the mistakes in transcribing.
A hot and cold line guide
A short note on which material suits which line, as the maker states. The plumber confirms for the job.
A stock sheet
In-stock and delivery notes kept up to date for the lines that move. It decides whether the contractor orders from you today.
How the result is measured
- Qualified enquiries
- Quotation requests
- Orders won
- Repeat orders
- Wrong-size returns
- List uploads received
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
What we need from you
What to have ready before the audit call.
None of it has to be tidy. We read what you have.
- Product list with material, size, joint type and carton quantity
- The maker's catalogue and technical sheets
- A sample of recent plumber and contractor enquiries
- Stock and delivery area for each line
- Brands and makers you are authorised to sell
Selling in India and abroad
Selling pipes & fittings beyond your own market.
Where you sell decides sizes, units, seasons and returns. We work from Bengaluru and have no overseas office, so for a new country we start from your own sales and the platforms you already use.
Pipe standards and sizes differ
Nominal sizes and thread standards vary by country, and a fitting for one system may not suit another. State the standard for each line and confirm the market before listing.
Long goods and weight
Pipe is long and bulky. Freight for overseas orders is usually by container and a trade buyer thinks in bundles, so your forwarder gives the figures.
