PVC Pipes in bay area

hey all, i'm doing a project on sustainable design and i'm looking for PVC pipping in 24inch diameter. anyone know where to find some that big? i've tried osh and home depot but the biggest i've found was 6inch.

edit... 12" could work too.... any contractors in the house? i only need 1 feet of the stuff....

you can't scale down whatever your doing? You'll probably have to hit up the manufacturer or a construction company.

i rather not scale down... because the thickness of the pvc plays a role...

Your best bet will probably be to scale down, you can scale anything down as long as you know your variables, constraints, etc.

the thing is that the thickness of the pipe doesn't really change when you go smaller (thickness is the same in 3in and 4in and 6in)... so i don't want to sit there sanding the pipe to the right scale thickness
