I use 4" white drain pipe PVC as a tower conduit and I have not seen any
degradation from UV.

## Instead of white PVC... you could use the grey PVC...available in mist
home depot
stores. Its usually in the electrical dept. Comes in 10-12 foot
lengths...and is flared
at one end..so you can join em nose to tail. That stuff is UV resistant.
F12 uses the smaller
Unfortunately, grey PVC is another example of
"mystery material". It seems to be a crap shoot.
Some kinds are UV resistant, other kinds "burn" badly within
a year and seems worse than white PVC. Of course
it all looks the same in the store.
BTW, I've never seen 12 foot lengths of conduit.
