We found it easily in Home Depot -- once we realized that it was in the electrical section, not the plumbing section. Our HD only had plumbing pvc up to 2", but the conduits in the electrical section (grey ones) went up to 3". However, the one we bought must've been a few years old. It was so dusty it was literally black, until we handled it a bit (then it was grey and all our clothes were black). The real trouble we had was in finding 1.25" nipples and flanges. None of the HDs here carry those (only 1" and 1.5"), and we had to have them custom made.
