Default Gray pvc

Where can I find "dark gray" or black pvc pipe for plumbing? (calgary) I've seen a couple of builds, where they have "dark gray" or "black" pipe. Painting is an option, but it'll be something I'll do, if i can't locate the gray or black pvc pipe. Doug

Any plumbing supply store.
ie. Emco, Wolseley, Fabco


On a side note... the "Grey" PVC is Sch80 (thicker wall) and the "White" PVC is Sch40 (thinner wall)

*the only difference between electrical conduit(for the pipe sections) and PVC is that conduit has a resin (dye) in it and is not pressure tested/guarenteed like PVC is.

You can even order 'clear' PVC.

Cheers,

Chris
