Sorry don't know where to get it in Edmonton, we've been looking too. I do know that 4" clear PVC is $32/ft. If your going to end up buying a 10ft stick of 6" I'd be willing to split the cost with you!

Last time I checked, 6" extruded 1/8" wall stuff was $23 - $25/ft. 5" extruded 1/8" wall is $19/ft.

Yes, locally.

You do have a minimum purchase of 6' unless you miraculously find a cut off of larger sized acrylic tubing.

I just went through all this a while back and here are the prices I got.
4" schedule 40 - 10' length - 23.02/ft
6" schedule 80 - 6' length - 35.00/ft Thin wall. 1/8 inch but still fits all PVC fittings - speacial order about a month to get in.
Johnston Plastics - 465-0431

Cheers,

Al

Default PVC vs Acrylic

So what's the consensus? Is PVC cheaper than acrylic?

Thanks
