You might contact Bob over at ReefMaina I know he uses Gray Schedule 80 for everything that he builds. He would have a source. No idea what it costs. I am sure it is expensive.
I have been thinking of building exposed peices out of the Krylon plastic painted Schedule 40. There have been some reports of folks using it for many months without problems. I just haven't gotten up the courage yet.

i can only comment on the parts i buy from them but everything is way cheaper at indelco than at www.savko.com some of the parts are half the price. They seem to have different prices for different people though.

Since Ace is a franchise, each one decides what they stock I guess. The Chanhassen one by me sells it but doesn't have a ton usually.
I couldn't ever find it at Menards but Home Depot has a small selection in the irrigation/sprinkler area.
