I am setting up a 360gl and I cant find any where that carries grey PVC. I found grea CPVC but it was 23.00$ for a elbow and 150$ for a ball valve. I just don't want the ugly white pvc. Thanks

That is schedule 80 piping and any supply store should have some on hand. It is thicker and a bit more expensive than the white schedule 40 pvc.

No matter what color you get it will be purple in no time flat.

go to the electrical dept. of home depot or any place like that and you will find it.

Yeah, the grey pipe is electrical pipe. The electrical fittings fit slightly different too. I just made my own bulkhead, and the electrical threads arent tapered like plumbing threads are. You can snug stuff up closer. The 'plumbing' schedule 80 is a darker grey, but expensive and overkill.
