Black 3/4" PVC Fittings and Pipe, where?

So at HomeDepot I was surprised to see a lack of any black 3/4" PVC fittings (even in the Sprinkler section) that I need. Even simple stuff like:

24"/18"/12"/4" risers (pipes), male/male (found these in dk.gray if needed)
90* elbow male/male, male/female, or female/female
female/female unions/couplers
end-caps

Was thinking all threaded, but if I can only do slip-ons so be it.

They have lots of white of course, and some gray, but they didn't even have a white 90* elbow, wth? I'll try Lowe's tonight, and then Ace if that's a bust.

Any recommendations for a plumbing n0ob? I'm just piecing together a return spraybar in my 60g AiO.

Also forgot, any place have smaller sheets of eggcrate than the way they come from HomeDepot, so I don't have to cut it?

Cool, thx! They're 15 miles from my house, but if I don't find anything in Thornton I'll check it out. Lowe's says they have a big selection of black PVC stuff.

Worst case, I can order most things from BRS or Jehmco, but would rather have it today.

+1 for Bomgaars, Lowe's has lots of sprinkler (black pipe) that is too small for most purposes. They have larger plumbing fittings though.

I'm just curious as to why you want black fittings, personal preference or are you looking for schedule 80?

Just got back from Lowe's and they almost had even less than HD, mostly white. The spraybar and connecting pieces are going inside the tank in the back. Trying to make it as inconspicuous as possible. I'll post pics when it's done, before filling. :)
