Holy crap!! I've looked at four different hardware stores (Lowes and Home Depot along with mom and pop stores), and can not find any schedule 80 3/4" PVC with a bell flange/end. I can find 2 1/2" diameter, and 3/4" without the bell end, and I don't want to attempt threading it either. Where can I get what I want without paying out the eyeballs? Any help? ------------- All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Edmund Burke |

Home Depot. Electrical conduit. Fwiw, sch40 is cheaper and fits better. You'll have to do some searching for sch80 though. |

| I've ordered 3/4" sched 80 bell-ended sticks through Grainger. I think they were ~$10-15 /10ft. We've made the non-bell end stuff work, too, it just takes a heat gun and something to "bell out" the end, and usually something to jam up in there to help it keep it's shape. |

Srsly? $10-15/10ft I just bought 4 pieces today at Home Depot for $1.67/ea. Typically the sch80 are $2.50/ea or thereabouts. |

http://m.homedepot.com/p/JM-eagle-3-4-in-x-10-ft-PVC-Conduit-67454/100129197/ Just get the sch40 if they don't carry 80 in your area |

http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/CANTEX-Conduit-4EUC6?Pid=search We were destroying sch40 with the quickness. Hard ground on the field and a stack of standard plates welded together meant about 10 throws before kaboom. If the weight was different it probably would have lasted much longer.

No real need for a flared end, really. I just put a tape wedge on the end of my pipes and I'm good to go. Also, weight plates will kill handles - been there before. ------------- http://www.believethrower.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.believethrower.com |

I've never seen Sched 80 bell end conduit at any of the home improvement stores (Home Depot, Lowe's, Menard's, Ace Hardware, etc). Plain end, yes. As for using a tape wedge, I'd make sure to examine it closely each time to make sure it wasn't working its way off the end. The heat gun and a good cork or tapered piece of dowel would help flare it out (I haven't done so myself since my own hammer work hasn't proven as destructive to sched 40). ------------- Teresa Merrick Bellevue, NE |

I've had good luck with the glue on end caps as well, just give it 24 hours to cure. Gets you more use out of the 10' sections of conduit. ------------- |

I was a landscaper for many years, so I get my sch 80 from landscape supply companies. Here's the link to Ewing Irrigation Supply. They have locations all over the US. If there isn't one located close to you I am sure you can find a similar irrigation supply company if you google it for your area.
