Does home depot in provo really only have 4 inch? I'm kinda skeptical that's the case. If so, maybe hit up someplace plumbing specific like a ferguson.

i know for 100% that’s the case at ace and lowe’s however my dad checked for me the other day at home depot so maybe i should go myself

Hmmm, the Home Depot here in Bozeman has a lot of sizes (up to 12 inch I believe but the bigger sizes always sell out). Just lift em from a construction site op- or if you actually wanna be a good citizen then just ask the construction workers if they have any scrap or pieces they aren’t using

If you go to a construction site, ask for pipe no one calls it a tube.

Check with your local plumbing stores(not Home Depot, Lowes but an actually plumbing supplier), they will carry the larger diameter PVC. But also mentioned above, construction sites should have something laying around.

There is a plumbing store in south orem right off state where you can order it through them...i got a 6 inch tube a few years back from there and it seemed to work pretty good. That store is where the majority of engineers and builders get their tubes from, forgot the name though :(
