You can try electrical shops, gray pvc is usually used to run electrical wire inside of it.

Gray PVC

I use gray pvc pipe on my builds i like the look, but i use white fittings(i paint them - colors) are a lot easier to find. You should look online most places didn't offer much of a selection when i could find them.

If you plan on using this for a return, I would try to make sure the pipe is at least a schedule 40 or bigger. Anything below that might have the walls of the pipe to thin.

Just wondering why you are wanting sch 80? sch 40 will be fine for anything you want to do. Even class 200 will work just fine its rated for 200 psi and will flow better as well.

there is a grey pvc that is sold as chemical resistant. used in industry where standard (white) will not hold up. I have heard that sometimes it it used in swimming pools. This grade is more expensive. Would be hesitant about using electrical pvc without knowing the chemical content. It may leach something into your system

Sched 80 and the grey stuff in elec section isnt the same, the grey stuff in elec normally has a chemical in it to protect it from uv rays and becoming brittle. Look for the real deal sched 80 , its alot more expensive then sched 40
