Try plumbing.  It's relatively thin wall and used as a drain pipe. 
Possibly sewer pipe. I have some up to 5"
It was cheaper than conduit.

Only been there about 3 times. Lowe's is about a mile closer without 
having to go through heavy traffic.

I've never seen clear plumbing pipe. This is rigid pipe with a fairly 
thin wall and not at all flexible. I used a pair of 45s to make 90s and 
a "Y" with a cap on one side turned down to create a drain.  I'll try to 
find a couple of pieces out in the shop  and post a photo as I always 
have *stuff* left over.
