ok, so i searchbarred this for awhile but couldnt find anything. but i'm wondering where you guys get this like 12ft, 15ft and even longer pvc, because places where i looked(home depot, lowes, etc.) where i live only stock up to 10ft. Is there somewhere else i can look? or do my local hardware stores just suck?

ABS is sold in 12 foot sections. doesnt slide like pvc but it still works, and its stronger. just put it on a bit of a downslope and youll be perfect.
go to a plumbing store and ask them about finding a industrial 6 inch diameter pvc pipe, i think they are something like 12-15 ft long. if you get a good deal you could get it for 50 bucks. if you find a new housing development, its like heaven. there are those things lying around everywhere

Just take a bunch the 10 footers and line them up, like for 15 feet just add another 5 ft to the 10 ft pvc on one 15ft 2x4, u really don't notice any difference in the transition.

i got 20 foot sections through my dad who is in the HVAC business. He got it through his supplier. Check pluming/heating supply companies. The longest you can get is 20 foot. But keep in mind the longest 2x4 they make is 16 feet.
